Describe the process of the ratification. What was the purpose of the Constitutional Convention throughout that process?
The purpose of the Constitutional convention was to create a compromise between the states to create a strong central government.
Conventions
Five state conventions voted to approve the Constitution almost immediately (December 1787 to January 1788) and in all of them the vote was unanimous (Delaware, New Jersey, Georgia) or lopsided (Pennsylvania, Connecticut)."

Mandatory assemblies
"The presence of these Antifederalists against their will, created the required number of members to allow a special convention to be called in the state, which eventually voted 46 to 23 to accept the Constitution."

Contest between States
"The first real test of the Constitution in an influential state with both sides prepared for the contest came in Massachusetts in January 1788." American History from pre-columbian to new millennium (2017). Retrieved from http://www.ushistory.org/us/16c.asp
