Thirdly, the people would never allow the National Government to over throw the States.
To the first point Madison makes these statements;.
" The federal and State governments are is fact but different agents and trustees of the people, constituted with different powers, and designed for different purposes The ultimate authority, wherever the derivative may be found, resides in the people alone . not . on the comparative ambition or address of the different governments (concerning) whether (both or one) will be able to enlarge its sphere of jurisdiction at the expense of the other . every case should be supposed to depend on the sentiments and sanction of their common constituents (and) the first and most natural attachment of the people will be to the governments of their respective States.".
Here in a condensed format he is telling the American people that the Federal Government will be made up of people from the states whom will have the best interests in mind of their people and their residing state. Madison goes on to state how difficult it would be to initiate such an attack on the states without setting off massive alarms. As seen in this condensed statement.
"the people and the States should, for a sufficient period of time, elect an uninterrupted succession of men ready to betray both (people and States); that the traitors (elected politicians) should . uniformly and systematically pursue some fixed plan for the extension of the military establishment." In addition, "the governments and the people of the States should silently and patiently behold the gathering storm, and continue to supply the materials, until it should be prepared to burst on their own heads (and this) must appear to every one more like the incoherent dreams of a delirious jealousy, or the misjudged exaggerations of a counterfeit zeal, than like the sober apprehensions of genuine patriotism.".
.
An interpretation is that we would have to be all completely numb to the world around us not to see an attack coming.
