That is from Davis book. Him quoting Madison, if you want a quote from Davis himself my favorites are---"Sovereigns can't rebel". or perhaps "If the Confederacy falls, there should be written on its tombstone, 'Died of a theory.'"

But, I guess Madison reasoning that the vote for the constitution was by state, and not the people as a whole goes unchallenged. But whom could challenge Madison?
