I didn't make this point earlier, so i'll make it now.
A ratification statement is not a "signing" statement. It is at the very least an addendum to the contract. The ratification and stipulations must be accepted in whole, or rejected completely.
The statements by New York, Virginia and Rhode Island didn't make a ripple, let alone provoke spontaneous denunciations.
A reasonable conclusion is that they were within the understanding of the founders to be acceptable.
The other signatories didn't care what they wrote on their state's documents.....since they carried no weight of law.
