As I pointed out to him, by quoting yet again that section of Madison's Philadelphia Convention notes in which ratification was discussed and voted on, which you kindly pointed out to me last year or the year before and have repeated yet again after I posted it, Gouverneur Morris actually moved the question, that the Constitution be submitted to a mass convention of the massed States, confounding the People in just the way Non-Sequitur insists that they were, and the motion didn't even receive a second.
[Non-Sequitur]
#428 What I am agreeing with Washington on is that it was the People of the United States that rarified the Constitution. And it is the people of the United States, not the people of Virginia or South Carolina or Pennsylvania that the government is accountable to.
#350 So it WAS the People of the United States , that lumpenprolitariat that you have such contempt for, that ratified the Constitution and not your precious states.
#431 No. The people of the United States ratified it. Call it an amalgamation or lumpenproliteriat or whatever you want. The people spoke in the role as citizens of the United States.
Your Marshall quote in #431 supports us, not you. Between the transactions of the Philadelphia Convention, the manner of the ratification of the Constitution, and the quotation from John Marshall, it is only possible to conclude, Non-Sequitur, that you are
CONFUTED!
Spend a lot of time being 'confuted', do you?
