6 The Constitution had been written by men he knew well, and could now call on to consult with, but it was ultimately up to interpretation.
That's...bizarre. How was it left up to interpretation if he literally could ask the writers themselves? If that was the case, if Washington could ask Madison, "Hey, what did you mean by this?" and Madison just shrugged and said, "I dunno, it's up for interpretation!" then it's NO FUCKING WONDER we can't agree on what it means now.
