Origins of the US Constitution: The Federalist Papers

Our resident historian Dr. John Foster continues his discussion of the origins of the US Constitution! This time, he's talking about The Federalist Papers!
After the US Constitution was written and signed, it still had to be approved - both by the states and in the hearts and minds of the people. Consequently, Alexander Hamilton, James Madison and John Jay launched a spirited defense of the new constitution in a series of articles from the fall of 1787 to the spring of 1788. These articles became known as The Federalist Papers. Discover their contents and importance!
Also, learn about one of the most fatal "your mother" jokes in US history. I promise ... it's relevant.

    The statement; They were written in the late 18th century, so people had a little trouble getting to the point. 😂 is so funny and so true.

    When Thomas Jefferson wrote his Notes on Virginia, he wrote that Lawmakers should NEVER look back at the laws that were passed as "Essential" and should never be reviewed for discussion. Our Founding Fathers recognized that history clouds the individual's judgment (see Jean~Jacques Rousseau's Social Contract) much like today, everybody's understanding of our nation's past is different, based on the teachers talking points. Take, for instance, Roadrage, since when did all American drivers become an expert on the law? This is because Americans exercise laws made relevant since the re-introduction of the Federalists Papers in the 70s. It's my contention, that the Federalist Society thumbed its nose at Thomas Jefferson's warning to the American People and that they broke these laws to promote their cause. Furthermore, I contend that this is why Thomas Jefferson wrote his warning in his Notes on Virginia because Americans have little understanding of the dynamics of politics, which touches EVERY aspect of our lives. William Bennett Munro wrote in his book Social Civics, that two groups of people (Law students and non-law students) living in close proximity to each other, over time, will become suspicious of each other... and this is where America is today.

    One should Read the Federalist paper in conjunction with the Anti-Federalist papers. If you don't, you won't fully understand what even today is at stake
