A few of the states did a statewide vote, yes or no. Now in those states only white males with property could vote.

I know we're wandering off topic into a minor point, but... 

States called conventions to debate and vote on ratification.  It wasn't like they set up polling places and had all the white men with property vote.   There were probably just a few hundred people at the most at each convention.  For example, Delaware ratified by a vote of 30-0.   When you say "ratified by votes from the people at large" it implies that it was a simple popular vote of the sort we do in Florida for state constitutional amendments.  It wasn't like that.

The ratification conventions were sometimes elected in the same manner as the legislature itself, that is by all eligible voters, and other places they were selected by the state legislature.
My fellow southpaw Mark Brunell will probably always be my favorite Jaguar.
