Just as they knew the Constitution was inadequate for any non-moral people, they knew that it wouldn’t restrain a determined tyrant.

They made the assumption of moral people in the country and in office.

You are correct. He basically stated that this bill of rights would become a pretext for abusing what wasn't explicitly stated in said rights.
