why couldn't citizens in the states of new york, north carolina and rhode island participate in the united states very first presidential election?

Explanation:

The remaining 35 electoral votes were divided among 10 candidates, including John Jay, who finished third with 9 electoral votes. Three states are not eligible to participate in elections: the New York legislature did not elect voters on time, and North Carolina and Rhode Island have yet to ratify the constitution. Washington was established in New York City on April 30, 1789, 57 days after the first Congress.
