If there were no states creating the Federal government, then

1. Why did the framers refer to the nation as "The United States"

2. Why was the Constitutional Convention begun by saying "...a Convention of delegates who shall have been appointed by the several States be held at Philadelphia..." ?

3. If not states, what entities did the Articles of Confederation unite?
