Rhode Island differed from other states holding conventions regarding the Constitution’s ratification in that
A.
it voted against ratification.
B.
it did not hold a convention.
C.
it voted in favor of ratification.
D.
its members reached a stalemate.
To find the answer to this question, we need to understand the context of the Constitution's ratification process. The Constitution was proposed in 1787, and each state had to hold a convention to decide whether to ratify or reject it. The question asks how Rhode Island's experience differed from other states in this process.
To start, we can eliminate options B and D. Option B suggests that Rhode Island did not hold a convention, which is not accurate because all states were required to hold a convention for ratification. Option D suggests that Rhode Island's members reached a stalemate, but there is no historical evidence or consensus indicating a stalemate in Rhode Island's ratification process.
Now let's consider options A and C. Option A suggests that Rhode Island voted against ratification, while option C suggests that it voted in favor of ratification. To determine the correct answer, we need to consult historical records or credible sources.
According to historical records, Rhode Island initially voted against ratification in 1787. However, by 1790, the state ratified the Constitution. This means that Rhode Island eventually voted in favor of ratification, which aligns with option C. Therefore, the correct answer is:
C. Rhode Island voted in favor of ratification.
