There is no clear cut formula for establishing what you would or would not have supported. For instance in Virginia elections to ratification convention were often between local elite who held no established position on ratification. Only in New York is there anything approaching a modern political process with party ballots, and open campaigning for opponents and supporters of ratification. Very generally we can say those in the "West" were more likely to oppose ratification and very generally those in the East and cities were more likely to support ratification. But support or opposition to ratification usually came down to a multitude of local and state issues, or depended on the independent choices of your local elite.

This isn't asking about history, as such - it's asking for people's personal opinions about the constitution of the United States of America. Basically, it's /r/PoliticalDiscussion, historical-style.
