Where in your "history of the constitution" did it state that the Constitution was a creation of Congress?

Written by a delegation and approved by state Constitutional Conventions (who I'm sure we can all agree are better representatives of the people than Congress).

No, sorry, I don't agree. Congress is elected by the citizenry every two years. If they are not 'representative' of the will of the people, then the people have no one but themselves to blame.

A Continental Congress ratified the Articles of Confederation. Problems arose and they decided to call a Convention to address them. Congress asked the states to send representatives to this Convention and these representatives formed a Constitutional Convention. I believe the Congress that approved the Constitution and sent it to the states to be ratified was called a Confederate Congress (or it was called a Confederate Congress perhaps at some earlier date ...no matter). This is how it all came about.

The Constitution can be amended by a 2/3 approval of Congress OR by 2/3 of the states calling for a Convention. Either way the Amendments must be ratified by 3/4 of the states.
