You are correct. It is 3/4 once it gets sent to the states. This is probably why the 1836 Arkansas ratification was so critical. With South Carolina's vote 'for' sometime prior to 1836 and Arkansas's vote for in 1836, the score is 18/25 = 0.72 according to my count, excluding Maine. With Maine, which appears to have ratified by publication via inclusion in its own Constitution in 1820, that would make it 19/25 = 0.76 states ratifying. But it also looks like Missouri put it over the top with 0.75 in 1821. I suspect this is why Maine published their Constitution in 1825 to show they had ratified it in 1820, thus the "official" full ratification in 1836 with Arkansas and the subsequent inclusion in the next 13 states Constitutions.
Thanks for correction. I think I got the final date of full ratification right, despite this error, and this makes Arkansas and Andrew Jackson even MORE important that I thought.
This makes me wonder if "Remember the Maine" was more than war propaganda, and maybe a message to the American People to go back and look at their Constitution publication?
