events that led to ratification of the constitution.
(there is a flowchart with three empty ovals followed by an oval labeled ratification of the constitution)

Explanation:

To determine the sequence of events leading to the ratification of the U.S. Constitution, we recall the key steps:

1. The Constitutional Convention (1787) was held to address the weaknesses of the Articles of Confederation and draft a new constitution.
2. After drafting, the Constitution was submitted to the states for consideration and ratification.
3. Debates and ratification efforts occurred, including the Federalist - Anti - Federalist debates, with states holding conventions to vote on ratification.
4. Finally, enough states ratified, leading to the Ratification of the Constitution (when New Hampshire became the 9th state to ratify in 1788, meeting the requirement).

Answer:

1. Constitutional Convention (1787) (Drafting of the Constitution)
2. Submission of the Constitution to the States
3. State - level Debates and Ratification Conventions (Federalist - Anti - Federalist Debates, State Votes)
4. Ratification of the Constitution (Meeting the Ratification Requirement with Sufficient State Ratifications)
