I read you to say that you have no idea where James Madison would have obtained knowledge of the canons of interpretation.

I also read you to say that you have no idea what the canons of construction were when James Madison made the statement in question?

I further read you to say that you don't know what Sir William Blackstone said regarding the interpretation of laws.
Then your basic comprehension of English is and ignorant as that of the law.

How about this. You provide a single citation from Blackstone that provides a general rule for interpretation of legal texts.

If you are not completely ignorant, how about you provide what YOU understand the common law rules of construction to be. Put up or admit your utter ignorance.
