How was the 14th amendment ratified?
The ratifaction of the fourteenth amendment was almost as controversal as its debates over its proposal, although the amendment with favor in the north,l most southern states rejected it. in 1867, Congress subsequently adopted the military reconstruction act, providing that states of the confederacy could be readmitted to the union without military rule if they ratified the fourteenth amendment. several subsequently did so. at about that time, New Jersey and Ohio attempted to rescind their ratifications. secretary of state William Seward presented the facts to Congress, which declared the amendment adopted. at least one other state appears to have ratified the amendment prior to the congressional votes, and other ratifications followed before any judicial desicions based on the amendment. Moreover, congress had not previously found it necessary to take a separate step to "promulgate" an amendment.
