The act read, '... whereas the constitution so reported by the convention, and by Congress transmitted to the several legislatures, has been ratified in the manner therein declared to be sufficient for the establishment of the same ... Resolved, That the first Wednesday in January next be the day for appointing electors in the several states which before the said day shall have ratified the said constitution; that the first Wednesday in February next be the day for the electors to assemble in their respective states, and vote for a president; and that the first Wednesday in March next be the time, and the present seat of Congress [New York] the place, for commencing proceedings under the said constitution.' At the time, only eleven of the thirteen states had ratified the Constitution, North Carolina and Vermont had yet to ratify. When the New York state legislature failed to find common ground to appoint their own electors in time, with the two parties still at odds after a tough ratification convention, electors from only 10 states would gather in February, unanimously electing George Washington the first President of the United States.
