Georgia ratified the new and revised constitution for many reasons.It was mainly because as more and more people began to move into Georgia, they began to push westward into the land occupied by Indians, yet the Indians were determined to hold onto their lands. Since Georgia was the youngest state, it needed help and a strong government to help protect it from Indian threats and to acquire lands from the Indians. After all this happened, there was a 'special' convention which was called to consider ratification of the U.S. constitution. By January 4, 1788. Georgia became the fourth state to ratify the U.S. constitution.
