“Rhode Island Voted “No”. North Carolina voted neither way.The other 11 States were all that were needed.”

I thought all 13 states voted to ratify the U.S. constitution.

Are you saying R.I. and North Carolina never voted to ratify the constitution?

Initially, they did not.
One voted no, the other voted to abstain.
Later on, after all the fuss was over, they symbolically did.
