"Then who exactly was at the Constitutional Conventions? I thought it was representatives from the states that assembled to form a national government after they won freedom from England."

They were representatives from the 13 colonies or de facto states, and upon ratification of the U.S. Constitution, joined the Union and became states under the authority of the Union. They were not states under a non-binding or suggested leadership like the U.N. They became subordinate to the Union. Their statehood was not the same before and after ratification of the Constitution, there was a change in order and authority.
