You don't make any sense. You dont believe Madison concerning the preamble. Its history. He as the main player explained what 'we the people' means.
The only reason that it wasn't worded as the Articles of Confederation did, citing every state in the preamble, was because they didin't know if every state would ratify. They neve said 'we the people' to indicate the mass people of the nation of America. 'We the people' always means 'we the people of the states', who ratify.
So, unless you have something to disprove this, just saying one mans opinion is pretty silly.

I see your point. The constitution, ultimately, was enacted by the several states through their ratification of it.
