How do you convene a constitutional convention?
In a nascent democracy the first step is to create and establish a process whereby delegates to a constitutional convention cam be selected. This can be a muddled affair. Who, for example, has the authority to convene such a convention? In a nation with an established constitution, that constitution should include the procedure for amending the existing constitution. A convention may be organized to propose amendments but there is still a ratification step whereby the constituent provinces or sub-states formally accept the constitution.

How can the New York State Constitution be amended?
First, a ballot question appears on election day asking voters if they want to call a constitutional convention. If that measure passes, then on the next scheduled election day, there are special elections for representatives to the constitutional convention from all over New York State. These representatives work together and come up with a new proposed state constitution (presumably based on the old one, but with changes). When they agree on one single proposal, there is another ballot question on the following regularly scheduled election day in which voters across the state are asked whether to accept the new constitution. If that referendum passes, then the new constitution is adopted; otherwise, the old one remains in force.
What were the 4 agreements before the Constitutional Convention began?
Other than the states agreed to meet and 12 of them did there were no "agreements" before the convention. Several states and delegates had proposals in hand when they arrived but all were to be used as simply starting points of discussion, no more. The most famous of these is the Virginia Plan which consisted of 13 points most of which ended up incorporated into the new Constitution but there was no agreement by any state to simply accept that plan ahead of time. The person posing this question needs to be a bit more explicit if he expects an answer beyond this and obviously has something in mind by his citing a specific number in his question.

How is the US Constitution to be ratified by the states?
The process for ratification in each state was approximately the same: the state legislature called a state ratifying convention to decide whether or not that state would ratify the proposed Constitution. Delegates were elected to the ratifying conventions, and ultimately each state ratified the Constitution, although North Carolina had to hold a second convention after the first refused to ratify. (State ratifications are listed on a red background.) In addition to documenting these processes, this timeline includes other important events, such as the progress of the newly formed government and the publication of significant documents relating to the ratification debates
