many members of congress and the state government were against the new constitution, because it took power from the government and gave it to the people.
Some people prefer ratifying conventions over state legislatures for the ratification of amendments because conventions can provide a more direct expression of the people's will, potentially reducing partisan influence that may exist in state legislatures. Conventions can also engage a broader public dialogue and involve diverse perspectives, making the process more democratic. Additionally, conventions may be seen as a way to bypass entrenched political interests that could obstruct needed changes to the Constitution.
The Federalists, who were for the ratification of the Constitution, and the Anti-federalists, who were against the ratification.
federalists
The Federalists were well organized and in many states they often controlled the elections of ratifying conventions with their power and influence. Their opponents, the Antifederalists, were generally farmers, debtors, and other lower class people who were loyal to their state governments.

The plan was to go directly to the voters to get them to approve of the Constitution. The Constitution would be presented to special ratifying conventions in each state, rather than to the existing state legislatures. Delegates to the conventions would be elected by popular vote for the soul purpose of debating and approving the Constitution. (Source- We the People by Susan M. Leeson.)
