I see you keep repeating yourself in the hope that maybe this time it’ll be right. Too bad.

The other signatories didn’t care what they wrote on their state’s documents.....since they carried no weight of law and did not affect the ratification one whit.

Except for the fact you have virtually no proof that the contrary was true. I've discussed this many times, and about all anyone can drag out is Madison's forty year later letter on the subject.

The actual states and their legislatures who are in fact telling you what they understand the compact to be, are ignored.

The supporting legal facts are thus.

The Declaration says so.

Three states, meaning the entire legislative body of three states, (and two of the most significant states) explicitly said so.

Massachusetts and Connecticut also said so during the Hartford convention of 1814.

Who do you have claiming the contrary? Madison, 40 years later.

The actual historical and legal evidence goes the other way.
