[fortheDeclaration]

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?

Ultimately, they all ratified. North Carolina held out for a Bill of Rights to be proposed. Rhode Island was fast becoming a failed state, in a virtual condition of anarchy.

ftD #978] Article 7 states that the States agreed unanimously as the Independent United States of America,

[ftD #1036] 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.

4 out of 13 is unanimous. Brigade new math.

[fortheDeclaration #1036 trying to revise the history of what he said] 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?

What fortheDeclaration REALLY said:
[ftD #978] Article 7 states that the States agreed unanimously as the Independent United States of America,
[ftD #978] The U.S. Constitution was ratified by the States United

Read my post again. It is in response to what you REALLY said. If you still do not understand it, or if you can't recall what you REALLY said, you will just have to deal with remaining one of the Brigade Commander's stable boys.
