    By the end of 1791, the amendment was only one state short of adoption. However, when Kentucky attained statehood on June 1, 1792, the number of necessary ratifications climbed to twelve, and, even though Kentucky ratified the amendment that summer (along with the other eleven amendments), the measure was still one state short. No additional states ratified this amendment.

    ONE FUCKING STATE SHORT

    🤬🤬🤬🤬🤬

      Interesting, how close are we today?

      No additional states ratified this amendment. With 50 states today, 27 additional ratifications are necessary to reach the required threshold of 38 ratifications needed for this amendment to become part of the Constitution.

      Every state west the East Coast, except Kentucky, has yet to approve it.

      Edit: Some East Coast states have also not ratified it.
