and "the People of the United States" cast their vote for the Constitution, WHEN????

face it, N-S, you've LOST this one.

NONE of the sovereign States would have FREELY entered a union, that they couldn't just as FREELY leave.

Are you aware of secessionist syndrome and the only known cure?

Roughly between December 1789 and May of 1790.

Most states didn't 'FREELY enter' anything. They were admitted, only with the permission of the majority of the existing states through a vote in Congress. And I have no objection to them leaving the same way.
