The New Jersey convention spent only a week in discussion and then voted, also unanimously, for ratification on the 18th of December.

The next State to ratify was Georgia, where the Constitution was approved without a dissenting vote on January 2, 1788.

Connecticut followed immediately and, after a session of only five days, declared itself in favor of the Constitution, on the 9th of January, by a vote of over three to one.
The results of the campaign for ratification thus far were most gratifying to the Federalists, but the issue was not decided.

With the exception of Pennsylvania, the States which had acted were of lesser importance, and, until Massachusetts, New York, and Virginia should declare themselves, the outcome would be in doubt.

The convention of Massachusetts met on the same day that the Connecticut convention adjourned.
