You claim:
“State “governments” NEVER ratified the Constitution as you claim. State governments were deliberately by-passed for conventions called of the People IN states.”
Yet the Constitution itself says in Article VII:
“The Ratification of the Conventions of nine States, shall be sufficient for the Establishment of this Constitution between the States so ratifying the Same.”
The ratifying documents of the various states can be seen here: www.usconstitution.net/otherdocs.html#rats
You also seem to suffer from some strange notion that Congress had something to do with the constitutional convention. In fact, as far as the Congress of the old confederation knew, the convention was negotiating an amendment to the then current Articles of Confederation, the actual nature of the convention being a tightly held secret.
On the up-side, your handle is accurate.
Your own quote shows I am correct. “The Ratifications of the CONVENTIONS of nine States,...” These were special institutions set up in the States for this one purpose. Do you think I am denying that States existed as political institutions?
Congress called for the Convention and established the rules of ratification. It also was tasked with receiving the finished document. What else could you have in mind?
