The government established by the constitution, according to Madison, has an indefinite supremacy over all persons and things, as long as they are objects of lawful government. If there acts were to be unlawful, their power would have to be revoked or revised, as they would be governing unconstitutionally.

Madison is regarded as the father of the US Constitution. He largely contributed to shaping the ideas and explaining the meanings of the Constitution.
