To: Who is John Galt?
Each of these ratification documents was accepted as submitted...

You have that backwards. It was the states that were doing the accepting, not the other way around. And somewhere in each of the ratification documents you referenced was a line that stated they assent to and ratify the Constitution as passed out of the Philadelphia convention. And that would include the part that says the Constituiton, and the laws made in pursuance thereof, shall be the supreme law of the land. Not the ratification documents.

The ratification documents constitute the 'signature page' of the Constitution. You would apparently completely ignore any reservations contained therein. I would not.

Your approach seems to be closer to the D@mocrats' approach. Congratulations...
