Re: Treaties not subject to judicial review?

It would seem that the rules of a treaty and the rules of domestic law are mutually exclusive when applied domestically. Certainly enforcement of treay rules far outweighs domestic concerns?

I think the virginia plan wanted an executive branch with secret, exclusive, international negotiating rights and complete military authority for all non domestic use.

I have been lead to understand that the need for "centralized, exclusive access to the elements of trade" by those in power justified tossing out the Art. of Confederation?

Am I wrong?
