. Eight other states had already ratified the Constitution by the time the New York delegates assembled for their contentious ratification convention in Poughkeepsie in mid-June. The majority of delegates were opposed to ratification. In the end, on July 26, 1788, and only after agreeing to further amendments to the Constitution to satisfy the concerns of Antifederalists, Hamilton secured New York’s ratification by a razor thin 30-27 margin.
