Best Answer

The states would not refuse to ratify the constitution because it gave too much power to the states. By ratifying the constitution, the states were giving up power they had under the Articles of Confederation. Still, the states realized they needed a national government. The wars between them had to cease. The tariffs between them had to stop. And they needed to stop arguing about their borders. Only a national government could solve such problems.
