Which is of what consequence to this discussion?
The carry no more or less legal weight than the quotes you posted that they counterpoint.
All you have done is imply that one set of statements is to be disregarded while another is to be respected.
"[E]very act of a delegated authority, contrary to the tenor of the commission under which it is exercised, is void. No legislative act, therefore, contrary to the Constitution, can be valid. To deny this, would be to affirm, that the deputy is greater than his principal; that the servant is above his master; that the representatives of the people are superior to the people themselves; that men acting by virtue of powers, may do not only what their powers do not authorize, but what they forbid."
— Alexander Hamiltion
"It is every Americans' right and obligation to read and interpret the Constitution for himself."
— Thomas Jefferson
Anyone with any sense can see that Brutus correctly diagnosed the problem built into the Constitution before it was even ratified. What he described is what has happened. What you posted are musings on what would be nice, but isn't so.
