Because they believed in majority rule. They felt that the majority of the people’s approval was enough.

Plus, it was much easier for all 13 former colonies to accept the Articles of Confederation than the Constitution because it basically just handed the states governmental power and told them to cooperate with all of the other states. The Constitution, however, sought to take away some of the powers they had received such as the ability to regulate their own taxes. Understandably, it would be much more difficult to get a unanimous vote for for the Constitution due to this so the 9/13 rule seemed more reasonable.

(even though the Constitution ultimately ended up getting ratified unanimously)

lapo4ka [179]

Davis maintained national unity to secure independence, while his cabinet stressed ‘state rights’. During his time of office, stuff did not go okay for him. He was often in difference with his Cabinet, Congress, the governors of the Confederate States, plus with the generals of the Confederate Army. The Confederate government could not give the impression to work well together, which eventually showed to be a reason for the Confederacy’s defeat.
