Answer:  C) Article VII required the Constitution to be ratified by each state sending representatives, chosen by the people of that state, to a special meeting, instead asking the existing state governments to ratify the Constitution.

Explanation: Article VII required each state to hold special ratifying conventions of representatives chosen by the people of a state, instead asking the existing state governments to ratify the Constitution. The Founders did not think the existing state legislatures would ratify the Constitution because those governments would not agree to give up the power they had under the Articles of Confederation. Therefore, the Founders required the people of each state to send representatives to special conventions to ratify the Constitution.

Before the admission of California, Southern slavist states and Northern free states had the same number of Senators. But when California was admitted in 1850, it entered into the Union as a free state, so it created a power disbalance for the Southern states, giving to extra votes to the abolitionist states.
