You can find the ratification process in the Constitution. Honest.

I have. All of it. Honest. Now point out the part where it says the ratification documents supercede the Constituiton itself.

Show me the powers of the states in the Constitution again.

Now, show me the powers of the states the Confederacy wielded.

Where are those?

Clearly, if the Confederacy was made of states which no longer belonged to that Constitution, they had none of powers reserved to states in the Constitution.

However, ratification grants states those powers.

Yet they had none until they were re-ratified as states some time after the War Between the States.

There is no misunderstanding here for the need of that new action by the post-war Congress.
