@ErvinSzilagyi: There's a difference between "the access of a member declared without a specific access modifier" and "the access of a default constructor supplied by the constructor". – Jon Skeet Mar 16 '19 at 22:21

The visibility of the default constructor depends on the access modifier of the class, as stated in the java specification Chapter 8. Classes - 8.8.9. Default Constructor:
The default constructor has the same access modifier as the class, unless the class lacks an access modifier, in which case the default constructor has package access (§6.6).
