The article claims Hamilton wanted much easier standards to pass treaties, because he wanted the ability to supersede the US Constitution.

He lied flatly about the amount of debate on the matter.

but it’s also possible he wanted lesser standards simply because he believe treaties couldn’t override constitutional provisions.

Henry knew better.

You want me to believe the founders created a complex and extremely difficult hurdle for constitutional amendments, but they wanted to amend the Constitution with treaties using a simple 2/3 vote of senators? Sorry, I’m not buying that.

Then you are deluded.

Like I wrote, we can agree to disagree. There is nothing in the US Constitution that states treaties supersede the Constitution itself.

For anyone else that’s lurking...

You can be a conspiracy theorist and believe Hamilton intentionally created a back door into amending the US Constitution or you can believe the plain meaning of the Constitution as written.
