If we were "one people", then it would have required a single ratification.

No dreamer would ever say such a thing. When the people act, they act in their states, but the actions do not then become the acts of the states, do they?

Shall I quote McCullough to you?

You can quote Mother Goose if you'd like. The decision by the Supreme Court cannot change what it takes an amendment to do. Nor can the dicta in a decision change what the founders REFUSED to do. Even Hamilton wouldn't second Morris' motion to consolidate the people into one mass.
