some of their fellow delegates, like alexander hamilton, thought that a bill of rights could be unnecessary. maybe even dangerous. hamilton says that, you know, this constitution is we the people, giving powers to, the government, not the other way around. that the government cannot take these rights away because we have not given it the ability to do that. he suggests it could be dangerous to suggest there are limits on this, on a bill of writing, a bill of rights suggests other freedoms might be as important, may not be protected, but people are not swayed. a lot of folks agree with george mason and edmund randolph, an 11 year. they feel that a bill of rights is needed and. they think that, okay, we need add it. and eventually, james himself is convinced. and right now we have our reproduction in our case here we have this historic bill of rights. if we were to take a look at this document, i'm aware, my friends, that is very difficult to read this one here. so i won't even try to get too close or document here our bill of rights. we might know that it starts as a long, complicated proces

, if any, between samuel adams, ben franklin, alexander hamilton? stacy: hamilton, i do not think, is on the radar because he is so much younger. franklin in particular and samuel adams are a generation older then john james madison, they are old enough to be their fathers, really. jefferson and samuel adams have a tight relationship. franklin adams are interesting. they are both from boston. franklin left as a young adolescent to philadelphia. i do not think they ever meet until 1770. there is one moment when franklin goes back to boston, tried hard to figure this out. i do not believe the two of them ever crossed paths. they are related because franklin becomes the massachusetts agent in london, there is a lot of correspondence between the two of them. committees between which adams sits and benjamin franklin. adams would be slow to believe franklin is sufficiently revolutionary. as our many people. many people find ben franklin's politics suspect. he has taken on british heirs. he tried hard to keep the entire impart together. he has counseled mas

the federal list was the brainchild of alexander hamilton, who enlisted john j. jay and james madison to join him in this joint pseudonym. seven of the first eight essays, the federalist numbers two through eight authored by hamilton and jay explained in vivid detail the key geostrategic argument for a newly minted individual union along the lines at washington and hamilton in particular, had been advocated for many years, as jay writing. as publius explained in the federalist number five. this union was expressly modeled on the indicia geo strategic quote, entire and perfect unquote union, entire perfect union, excuse me, unquote of scotland and england, fourscore years earlier, britain was free and strong. hamilton publius argued in the climactic federalist number eight because it was a defensible island protected by the english channel. by uniting in decisively americans could likewise be free and strong. protect. aided by the atlantic ocean land borders between continental european nation states and led to standing armies, military dictators and horrific blood

this is james madison and alexander hamilton who were, in general, the closest associates of pullington. these people have always been very careful and accurate. few that was not found here, even if it is often quoted as well. dmitry is still pulling at this farewell performance. washington said, never interfere in european affairs will lead to nothing good. therefore , i must say that america you are very good. here i really liked it. this turn, indeed the americans. today they make everyone anti-america no other strange things become anti-america and america by their actions makes them anti-america and of course i am, uh, a young man who, i don't know damn knows. how many years ago i dreamed of seeing this country, studying this country and so on. and when everyone thought that they were really absolutely right, what should be taken from them? here it is here it's there, well, you never know the american dream of a head. that's where i don't know the brothers and much more. i'm not talking about technological technical and other things. today, people can not take anything from what

alexander hamilton said national debt, if it's not excessive will be to us a national blessing.e's thinking optimistically. we have huge national debt. the message, elected leaders, if you have don't have spending reduction plan, please leave the campaign trail now especially republicans. all worried sick about education system. so are our founding fathers, george washington said this, the best means of forming a man they purchase happy people will be found in the right education of our youth. without this foundation, every other means in my opinion must fail. think about that. his palms are our problems. what about political polarization? here's a quote from john adams. he said there's nothing which i dread so much as a division of the republic into two political parties. each under its leader converting measures into opposition to each other and he had his own problems, jefferson you may remember. first president had this to say about division, political parties likely in the course of time and things to become potent engines becoming ambitious unprincipled girlfriend will be

he brought aboard the two most brilliant people in america at that time, alexander hamilton as his financial treasury secretary, as smart as anyone, eloquent, numbers guy, there was no one like him but also brought in thomas jefferson, a fellow virginian who had been an absolute disaster as a wartime governor, basically said i can't to do this and abandon the state of the worst of times but also a brilliant man. the declaration of independence, and he had spent the last five years as minister to france, what he had not participated in the constitutional convention, a huge supporter of it, worked in concert with hamilton and promoting the constitution. washington decides, brings in hamilton but reaches out to thomas jefferson who had a great relationship with during the revolution but he recognizes his obvious gifts. in typical fashion jefferson takes a wild to respond. it is not until march, almost a year after washington's inauguration that he becomes part of washington's cabinet and from the start, he's very skeptical of what is going on. he distrusts this thing called the presidency with

alexander hamilton, for instance, among others, he felt that there were not enough checks against theat somebody of evil and bad character would be elected president. but and hamilton and others who are worried about this turned out to be absolutely right. what checks are there against a reckless, lawless president like donald trump? how about impeachment? how did that work? twice impeached, didn't stop him in the least. there is a -- in my mind, extinct memo from nixon's justice department saying that a sitting president cannot be indicted it was used to keep him from being indicted. i believe that sitting presidents should be invited. he was able to stand up to congress. >> and as we said correctly, didn't people around biden suggest that we were going to get rid of that memo? they haven't, not as far as i'm aware. >> they have not yet. the point is that we have one out of checks and guardrails and remedies against a president that misbehaves. at the last seven years, if they are not a living demonstration of, that i don't know what else we need. but >> michael, as we discussed at t

surrounded by some pretty genius level people, like is a washington and intellect compared to alexander hamilton or thomas jefferson, no. that does not make george washington a tree stump when it comes to his intellectual capacity. i think the same is true for lafayette. we talk about the people running around late 18th century france, this is the enlightenment the system world historical geniuses that are operating at a very high intellectual level. i think it's true lafayette is not hanging up there for example are both kind of so maybe not maryville. i don't think that means that he was a dunce or constantly made mistakes. he was just in over his head. i push back against the notion that lafayette was in over his head which is something a lot of people say about him, was he in the situation for anybody it would've been in over their head? >> yes that's mostly what it is. he was trying to accomplish something of a move move over to the french revolution tries to maintain order and revolutionary paris there are very few people who actually could have done that job and not wound up being ejected

so he he trusted the he trusted both trusted and trusted the people around him starting with alexander hamilton, maybe better than other people and a few spats aside, you know, there are episodes, but they fell out for some time, as we know. but all in all, i think he retained a lot of trust and he, uh, he gave power to the people around him because that was also the style of his being a general, you know, not trying to centralize everything in order to demote the other people. but quite the opposite, to create a good and environment, to create a good cabinet, to to have around, to be and circled and to be able to to to rely on the people around him that was something, i think, very meaningful. and that was the question. sorry, i got lost. the ending is, oh yeah, yeah, sure. sorry about it. and then there is something you. know, sure. writing letters and having people doing that was also a strategy. oh, probably not to edit out his, you know, the unpleasant facts that were of course visible, but it was certainly a strategy to to create a good car. so he understood pretty well that in order to t

it was alexander hamilton actually, who's writing these these procedures. and hamilton writes, you don't have to wait for the precise moment that the that one group is finished before the next group can start. so they would move them through that way. the first wave was done in secret, didn't want the british to learn about it. the british weren't keen to take this advantage. their soldiers aren't are totally unafraid of of smallpox. they started it in february when roads were frozen over. there wasn't much military activity going on anyway. so they were smart about it, but they were worried about that opportunity. of course, the british never attack a smallpox hospital or anything like that during the war. what i know there a lot of sickness in the army that caused a lot of death over time rather than just wounds. but how much of a role did smallpox play in the early fatality rates before inoculation was done? that's a great question. so there were other illnesses and sicknesses. smallpox is the big worry and it's also the one disease that they really know

george washington's there, alexander hamilton's there. the marquis de lafayette is there. and general knox is there. and there she is with her child. and the jig is up. and so she's so successful maneuvers this partly out of her own emotional breakdown. i think we can all understand why she'd have an emotional breakdown and react acts the way a lady is to react and they are gentlemen and they react the way gentlemen are supposed to react that nobody she was part of this plot and they let her go. and nobody has ever interviewed her about any of it. they all believe she's innocent. she chooses to to her family in philadelphia, though, she was offered to go over the lines and meet her husband and she says no, i'll go home to my family in philadelphia instead of my husband in new york. and then the supreme executive council, joseph reed, who had always hated benedict arnold, decides she is too dangerous. what do we doing? why is she in philadelphia? and so they order her exiled. and so she's exiled from pennsylvania as a threat to the republic. that's the word that they use. a

the remarkable knack of those of that generation, john marshall, james madison, james wilson, alexander hamilton, is that they could trace their judgments back to those anchoring truths as they applied the constitution and to the cases coming before them. they didn't think that once a judge left the text of the constitution, he was merely looking himself as though there were no moral truths. the text to which the judge could write the appeal informing his judgment, as in our own day, perhaps recognizing the objective, meaning and t loss of biological sex or the human standing of the child in the womb. now we find that ordinary people lawfully have a sense of what philosophers mean without being able quite to explain it. the ordinary, ordinary folk will. the sense of taking an alcoholic drink not always be harmful, that the harm will depend, on circumstances, a matter of degree in excess, in moderation. but the same man is likely to turn around and say that, well, genocide, if taken in moderation. you know, some of them said a few -- this week, you know, maybe harmless or inoffensive. most people

please like our alexander hamilton. any aspiring songwriters or choreographers out there? please go write a musical about him. i think that broderick is the blueprint for the san francisco liberal. he is corrupt. he's not of rigging and election one way or another but in the end, he's going to die on the right side of. we can see, maybe he is a he is the precursor to willie brown or gavin newsom. they might not be as corrupt as broderick and they are not getting in shootouts with anybody that i can see a friend to there, the san francisco liberal. you might not feel that everything is on the up and up but on key issues if you happen to be liberal, they are going to still do the right thing at the right time sometimes. i feel that broderick is definitely right about slavery. so, he dies in daly city and that's the end of the first vigilance. now we are going along too, we are still in the early sam cisco but knowing about 20 years later and this is a passage from my book, i will just read off the screen. san francisco had hoodlums, lynch mobs, and fans of mast men in the st
