I concur wholeheartedly. It's amazing how hard it is to find something though-provoking on here. Thank you for posting.

"He established the Constitutional system of checks and balances; of state government along with the national government..."

The first person to betray this was Madison himself:

The Office of Attorney General: a national lawyer capable of evoking executive power.

District Courts: outside the "10 mile square" jurisdiction of the federal government.

Both are found in the completely unconstitutional addition to the Constitution called the Federal Judiciary Act of 1789.
