When New York State met to consider ratifying the U.S. Constitution, there were 46 against it and only 19 for it. There were a number of speeches and strategies that were required to gain ratification by a vote of 30 to 27. Toward the end of the six week session, the word got distributed (often attributed to Alexander Hamilton, but I haven't been able to find proof - though it would be reasonable to assume) that NYC would secede and join the union, leaving the rest of NYS with a much weakened state since NYC was a well-to-do part of the state.
