think of the other founders like washington, madison, john adams, ben franklin, alexander hamilton. hamilton was keeping a law practice going while he was writing the constitution. i fear the general reputation of washington out there in the land is that he's like a wax figure, unlike a lincoln or unlike a franklin that people can feel, they feel like he's this wax figure up there that everybody idolizes and he doesn't do anything. it's very far from the truth. i think the reason he left -- sure, he wanted to find rivers and ways back. he wanted to go off on this grand adventure in the wild. he chose to go out and go to the wildest places. i think he loved it just like our children love today to go in the wild and i think it was his one last chance of being a kid again to go across. he was a very able person. abled people can do a lot of things at the same time. he was ripping this place back into productivity. you can read his accounting. he was getting the workers to work, the people who ran the place when he wasn't there. he was later moved in to build the largest whiskey distill

and referring to this afternoon, was, of course, the federalist, the 85 essays that alexander hamilton, madison and john jay wrote to support the ratification of the constitution. and so that -- that work is part of the whole great books curriculum here at st. john's. i've been thinking about the federalist for a long time. my first seminar paper in grad school was about it. i've edited the cambridge companion about the federalist, which will come out in a few years. first we have to get the contract. these are subjects that are important to me individually but also have some connection to both the institution and the city where we're meeting today. we start by saying -- so, let me start by saying something about the title. james madison's ticklish experiment, for those who weren't here this morning is essentially the problem of constitution-making or alternatively the role of the people in constitutional revision. and so what i want to spend this lecture discussing is the nature of constitution-making as a process in a madisonian light. that's our general project. i'm going to refer to a couple essays

papers you will see such quotes, john jay one of the authors, in disputes between the states, quote, the umpire would decide between them to compel acquiescence. unquote. alexander hamilton said the federal government would be, quote, an umpire or common judge to interpose between the contending parties. here he noted that athens and sparta did so much worse stuff to each other than persia ever threatened because tiny states butting up against each other develop such intense rivalries that can easily lead to violence. james madison said, what better umpires, quote, could be desired than representatives in congress? and so federalists created what they call an umpire, a higher sovereignty with the job and the coercive responsibility that imperial metro polls had played throughout history. but in this case without a hierarchy. and so new states could come in on the same terms as everybody else. no state could expand its borders into another state, a sister state, so to speak. and the federal government in extremis would intervene if crisis, truly existential crisis happened. you can count on one hand the number of times the federal government has done this. becaus
