Virtually every word of your post indicates that you do NOT know how the Constitution was created nor what it actually means.

Horseshit. I used the terms I used colloquially, rather than waste bandwidth explaining the process. You jump on this like the damned spelling Nazis. Who are the Legislators? Who are the convention attendees? Where did they come from? Are you remotely familiar with the history of the United States between 1840 and 1861? To say that the Feds did nothing to spark the war is ignorant in the extreme. You really need to do some research.

I care not about your spelling just the truth within your post of which there is very little.

The point is that even if every convention attendee was a member of a legislature he does not speak for the legislature when not in session. Nor does the legislative stamp of approval mean anything in this context.

This method was adopted to register the voice of the whole people not as states but merely gathered IN states. The adoption of the constitution was through the general Will of the American people not state approval.
