The Articles of Confederation was written in a joint effort by delegates from each of the thirteen states. The document became effective once it was ratified by all thirteen states. Virgina ratified it first in 1777 and Maryland was the last in 1781.
The first Constitution of the United States was ratified in 1787. Only two delegates showed up for the first meeting to ratify in May, so they waited until seven delegates showed up several months later.
The first act of delegates' first actions at the constitutional convention was provided for the oath.

They all did ratify, but some battles were harder than others. It depended on how many delegates had been there (Pennsylvania was one of the first 9 to ratify and it had 8 delegates), which delegates they were, and how many Anti-Federalists there were. The fight for ratification in New York was particularly bitter, as they had one delegate (who lost his vote when the other 2 NY delegates left), a slew of ardent Anti-Federalists, and several nasty exchanges in the ratification convention. It was actually that that led to the creation of the Federalist Papers. Other states were easier, like Delaware, which was the first state because it was the first to ratify.
Of the 55 delegates who attended the Convention, only 39 signed it. Washington, as Chairman of the Convention, signed the document first. Three delegates said they would not sign the document, even though they agreed with the need for a strong government, and the rest of the delegates had returned home by the date of the formal signing.

The primary elections are for delegates to the National nomination convention. Not all states have them and the way in which they select delegates varies. Sometimes the delegation is divided in proportion to the vote, sometimes the one with the most votes get all of the delegates. Sometimes the primaries are only advisory information for the delegates. If no candidate has a majority of the bound and committed delegates by convention time, delegates are all free after the first ballot to vote as they choose. Ballots are taken and deals are made and delegates switch votes until finally one candidate has a majority.
The delegates to the Constitutional Convention of 1787 accomplished a great deal during the first days of the event. First of all, George Washington was unanimously voted in as the first President of the United States. Next they developed a framework for the separation of government powers that resulted in the executive, legislative and judicial branches.
