Under this section he asks whether the people who voted against the Constitution (or against the new president for that matter) are dissenting or consenting. He identifies local dissension with actual consent by stating that yes, while dissenting against an idea, or a person, we also consent to the system itself by submitting to the results of the vote, even while we disagree with them.
This is fascinating. And will annoy me for the rest of the day, at least.
