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

Roughly between December 1789 and May of 1790.

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

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.
