The states for ratification
There was no resolution from the Founding Fathers. Basically the convention was a committee meeting which issued, per the Articles of Confederation, a recommendation which was the Constitution. This recommendation was sent to Congress for its review and approval and ultimately to the states for their approvals.

The answer seems obvious-- they had to have a constitution and the democratic way to get one was to hold a convention with duly elected delegates sent to thrash one out.
Congress called for the convention, pressured by several states, to deal with the problems the country was facing due to the Articles of Confederation. The states then sent delegates to the convention in Philadelphia for the purpose of creating a better constitution for the country.
they asked for a bill of rights to ensure the protection of citizens rights.
There were 70 delegates chosen, but only 55 participated in the Convention and only 39 signed the Constitution. Delegates were sent from 12 of the 13 states, but not from Rhode Island.
Article V of US Constitution describes the method of introducing an amendment in the constitution. For an amendment to be instituted, it has to be approved by both houses of US Congress with a two third majority. An amendment approved in such a manner does not require President's approval and is directly sent to states for ratification.
No, they did not. Historical records prove that the proposed Constitution was drafted at the Constitutional Convention, sent to the states for ratification and was ratified by those states.
