Notes
- ↑ June 15, 1804 The Twelfth Amendment was ratified by the legislature of New Hampshire . The governor of New Hampshire June 20 vetoed ratification. According to the generally accepted point of view, the governor does not have the power to veto such a situation, therefore, the date of entry into force of the amendment is considered to be June 15, 1804. If we consider that the ratification of the amendment by New Hampshire did not take place, then the date of ratification should be considered July 27, 1804. (ratification of Tennessee ).
- ↑ July 9, 1868 The Fourteenth Amendment received the required number of ratifications. Ohio and New Jersey previously withdrew their ratifications. Such a possibility is not provided for by the Constitution; therefore, withdrawal of ratification is not taken into account. If revocation were possible, the date of entry into force of the amendment would be considered July 13, 1868 (ratification by Georgia ).
- ↑ July 9, 1868 The Fifteenth Amendment received the required number of ratifications. New York earlier withdrew its ratification. Such a possibility is not provided for by the Constitution; therefore, withdrawal of ratification is not taken into account. If revocation were possible, the date of entry into force of the amendment would be considered February 17, 1870 (ratification by Nebraska ).
