Kinsey is right
The minimum requirement for the Bill of Rights to be added to the Constitution was D. three-fourths of the states needed to ratify the amendments. To understand this requirement, let's break it down:
When the Constitution was initially drafted in 1787, it did not contain a Bill of Rights. Some people were concerned that the Constitution did not do enough to protect individual rights, so a push for a Bill of Rights began.
In order to officially add any amendments to the Constitution, the process of ratification was followed. Ratification means that the proposed amendments would be formally approved and adopted.
To ratify the amendments, they needed the approval of the states. Each state had the opportunity to hold a convention or have their state legislature vote on the amendments. Whichever method they chose, the final determination would be counted towards the ratification process.
To meet the requirement, three-fourths of the states needed to ratify the amendments. It meant that a constitutional amendment would only become a part of the Constitution once it had received approval from a significant majority of states.
So, in the case of the Bill of Rights, once three-fourths of the states (meaning at least 9 out of the 13 states at the time) had ratified the proposed amendments, they were officially added to the Constitution and became law.
