Well, let's see if I can summarize.

Congress can regulate commerce with foreign Nations for the positive purposes of the General Government, is that correct?

But you're saying that Congress cannot regulate commerce among the several states for the positive purposes of the General Government, is that correct? Can you tell me why not?

Because according to Madison's writings, that is outside the scope of the commerce power that was given to the federal government.
