The Constitution was accepted by a vote of 30 to 27.
C.

Answer 1

The statement that does not accurately describe the ratification of the Constitution in New York is:

C. The governor of New York was a well-respected Federalist.

At the time of the ratification of the Constitution, the governor of New York was George Clinton, who was a prominent Anti-Federalist. This contrasts with the assertion that he was a well-respected Federalist.
