There were key steps and events that lead up to ratification of the constitution. Each colony ensured their concerns were met during the Continental Congress negotiations.
The 10 Amendments which are called the Bill of Rights were approved and became part of the Constitution.
Originally Congress passed the first amendments to the Constitution (i.e. the Bill of Rights) because of promises made during the ratification of the Constitution by the states. Several state ratification conventions only voted to approve the constitution on the condition that the new Congress would take up a Bill of Rights as its first action in order to ensure that American rights were protected.
Members of the Federalists party which included Alexander Hamilton, James Madison and John Jay supported the ratification of the Constitution. These members believed a centralized government was necessary to preserve the states in the union.
The Constitution was ratified during the years 1787 to 1790. But it became effective on March 4, 1789 after its ratification by a ninth state, New Hampshire, on June 21, 1788. The Constitution was completed on September 17, 1787, and at that point the process of ratification began. The first state to ratify it was Delaware, on December 7, 1787. According to the Constitution, it was to go into effect in those states that ratified it as soon as a total of nine states did so. The ninth state, New Hampshire, ratified it on June 21, 1788. The last of the original thirteen colonies to ratify the constitution was Rhode Island, which did so on May 29, 1790.
