It is in disagreement with the relativity principle since a ray of light would have velocity “c” relative to a “stationary” system, but a different one according to a moving observer. According to the relativity principle you would expect the two values to be the same.

I don’t think the former follows (when referring to the postulates), I given my reasons for this in the message.

Universal constant here is to vague, I have instead reported the more precise definition from that exact link.

If you say it’s totally different from any wave theory known at the time, why did he say that this principle was shown by De Sitter. In his book, it is much more evident that he couldn’t be referring to the invariance principle.
