Sez, you. Again, The States did not ratify the Constitution unanimously. They changed the original draft of the Constitution from this bellow :

WE the People of the States of New-Hampshire, Massachusetts, Rhode-Island and Providence Plantations, Connecticut, New-York, New-Jersey, Pennsylvania, Delaware, Maryland, Virginia, North-Carolina, South-Carolina, and Georgia, do ordain, declare and establish the following Constitution for the Government of Ourselves and our Posterity.

To it's current form because they didn't know which States would ratify it.

So you’re saying it wasn’t ratified unanimously....? Name one state that did not ratify the Constitution.
