Ours was beat to death in Philadelphia before there was enough agreement from all involved, then it was sent on to the States for ratification. The States didn't all agree and that's what got the Bill of Rights added to it. It wasn't a document that was written and forced on an unwilling population with no representation. That's probably the biggest difference between the USA's Constitution and many others in the world. The CoC probably would have better accepted if our input had been taken before it was dumped on us.
