The quotes I posted describe what is, as opposed to your quotes, which describe what some people think ought to be. We can all talk about what would be nice, but I'm talking about what is. That's the difference.

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.

All the founder's warned, at different times and in different context of the dangers of the power of government and the tendency of abuse to occur. They all spoke of the need for public vigilance and energy in their opposition.

All you've done is argue that the abuses have occurred, as predicted, but then declined to include anything pursuant to the public responsibility to act in opposition.

To what end to you do this? I can find no reason anyone would present such a case as appropriate to a forum of conservative political activism in good faith. It is tantamount to a statement of surrender.
