Conditional ratification was not an option. The question was to be “yes” or “no” not “well maybe.”

Correct! Conditional ratification was not an option.

Surrendering the right to unilateral secession was not a condition. It is nowhere stated in the constitution and nobody argued that ratifying the constitution while reserving the right to unilateral secession was a conditional ratification.
