And of course Article VII The Ratification of the Conventions of nine States, shall be sufficient for the Establishment of this Constitution between the States so ratifying the Same. Note it says between the states. One would think that 9 states would also have the right to abbrogate that Constitution between them.
You don't seem very familiar with the history of these events. The state legislatures did not ratify the Constitution. It was ratified in special conventions called for that purpose, because the intent, as Madison said, was to have the power flow form all the people.
