Article X notes that nine of the thirteen states would need to vote for any legislative bill before it became law.

Explanation:

Irrespective of a state's size and population, Article X states that each state would be entitled to only vote one in the legislature. It also provided that nine of the thirteen states would need to vote for any legislative bill before it becomes a law.

This provision was included to keep the legislature running on majority votes. It made mandatory for the legislature to introduce bills or laws only if 9 out of the 13 states are present and voting.

This handicapped the central government from passing laws or bills unanimously.
