[ftD] Article 7 states that the States agreed unanimously as the Independent United States of America,

No it does not. I quote it in full below for all to see what it actually says.

Article 7 says "done in Convention by the Unanimous Consent of the States present...."

Rhode Island refused to participate and no representative was present.

The states represented at the Convention unanimously agreed to the draft of the Constitution to be "submitted to a Convention of Delegates, chosen in each State by the People thereof, under the Recommendation of its Legislature, for their Assent and Ratification...."

The States United did NOT approve of that recommendation. Rhode Island REFUSED to send a representative to the Convention. ONLY TWELVE STATES WERE REPRESENTED. Only ELEVEN states are listed by name when it came to "In convention ... present ... Resolved...." When one comes to New York, it reads "MR Hamilton from New York." Mr. Hamilton was not the only representative appointed by New York, but the others were no longer present. Mr. Hamilton lacked lawful authority to act individually on behalf of the state of New York. New York was not considered "present" either.

[ftD] The U.S. Constitution was ratified by the States United

This did not happen. George Washington was inaugurated with two states still not ratifying the Constitution -- North Carolina and Rhode Island. When the Constitutional government was formed, neither North Carolina nor Rhode Island had agreed to the Constitution, and neither was was a member of the new union, nor were they represented in the new Congress. Rhode Island held out for more than a year.

Washington was inaugurated March 4, 1789. North Carolina ratified on November 21, 1789. Rhode Island ratified on May 29, 1790.

This is exactly what it says, The Ratification of the Conventions of nine States, shall be sufficient for the Establishment of this Constitution between the States so ratifying the Same. done in Convention by the Unanimous Consent of the States present the Seventeenth Day of September in the Year of our Lord one thousand seven hundred and Eighty seven and of the Independence of the United States of America

Let me see, I see Virgina, Georgia and North Carolina and South Carolina, so we can say that they were at least part of the United States of America.

The point is that the South made sure that their Constitution did not it was the Confederate States of America.

Washington, however, had no qualms calling the signing states (which were present) the United States of America.

The South understand the difference and made sure they did not do the same thing.

I take your line of argument as akin to throwing up dust in the air.

What point are you making that disputes my assertion that the Constitution was considered the uniting of the states into the United States of America?
