The correct answer is: 9 of the 13 states had to ratify it.

The ratification process required the approval of the Constitution by a certain number of states before it could be officially adopted. In this case, 9 of the 13 states had to ratify the Constitution in order for it to go into effect.
So, the correct answer is: 9 of the 13 states had to ratify it.
