I read this morning about psychiatric referrals by the gum't, have concerns about the suspension of basic liberties in the Patriot Acts, and all of the rest of the "needed' restraints on our lives.... and wonder (worry) what will happen to America!
I am not sure how your concerns relate to Mr. Hamilton's quotation. It seems to me Hamilton is saying that if you put legal restraints on the government that "cannot be observed", then you doubly fail, because not only do you not restrain the government (they break the rule) but you also weaken the respect and reverence for the Constitution. In other words, he seems to be saying that you shouldn't OVER-restrain the gubmint.
