this is a letter from the james madison papers. is is a letter that madison wrote to jefferson in the summer of 1788. james madison was one of the authors of the federalist essays and later on he would draft the amendments that would become the bill of rights. in this period, he was not sure yet of the bill of rights. in this letter to jefferson, he says the delay of a few years will assuage the jealousies artificially created and will point out the faults which really call for amendment. he thought it would take a little time before they knew it would need to be amended. what he is saying is that a bill of rights should wait until later on. this is thomas jefferson's reply. what jefferson does is she thinks madison for -- he thanks for the news but says he knew it already. madison has sent him a copy and jefferson says he already has a copy. jefferson flatters madison and says with respect to the federalist, the three authors have been named to me. he says i read it with care and pleasure and was satisfied there was nothing in it b

we've all heard of james madison and alexander hamilton, the rap star of the moment. of course, president washington. but in many ways, james wilson was the intellectual archetype act of the central idea behind the constitution that we, the people of the united states as a whole, have the sovereign power that was the big idea. eventually embodied in the preamble to the u.s. constitution. and it wasn't the way things started when the delegates came to philadelphia to draft the constitution. they came as representatives of individuals, sovereign states, and many of them insisted that we, the people of each state, are sovereign. but wilson, who had served in the continental congress, saw that the articles of confederation were too weak to achieve centralized purposes and wanted a stronger central government and a strong president elected by the people. insisted that we, the people of the united states as a whole are sovereign, not the people of each state, and not the parliament itself. as in britain. that brilliant idea was what lincoln invoked when he insisted that the

in 1791 james madison stood on the floor of congress because congress was thinking about sending, i think it was about $17,000 to french refugees. and madison stood on the floor of the house and said i ask any elected official to come up and put their finger on that passage in the constitution that says our government should be spending the people's money for the purposes of benevolence. and i do not think we need to be spending billions of dollars to send somebody else's border, i'm sorry about ukraine, but we cannot take care of our own border. three parts of our economy is hinged on things doing with benevolence. there is nothing in the constitution that allows that. we move it over that people actually depend on government -- big daddy government for everything. host: ok thank you. guest: it is hard on where to begin but clearly i do not think americans feel that social security is a scheme. more than 40% of all americans on social security this is the only pension they have. mark we do not have to go back to 1929 and the great crash, all we have to do is go back to 2008 and 2009 when

the defense by the applicant -- exhalation by james madison really gets us clearly grounded in the idea of -- federalist paper 39, this is what madison says. the first question that offers itself is whether the general form and aspect of the government be strictly republican. it is evident that no other form will be reconcilable with the genus of the people of america. with the fundament of principles of the revolution. or with the honorable determination which animates every manner of freedom. thomas all of our political experiments on the capacity of mankind for self-government. if the plan of the convention, therefore, be found to depart from the republican character, its advocates must abandon it is no longer defensible. strong statement by madison, as to how committed the constitution is to be 88 that when we say republicanism what we mean is that the government is formed by the people. that the people have direct or indirect control over all of those who serve in the national government. that there would not be hereditary or other ways in which the power would be obtained. it woul

alexander hamilton wrote the most, followed by james madison and john j did five of them. you have people quoting from the federalist papers trying to say here's is what the founders thought. it can be misused. they were trying to ratify the constitution but people say that these are the original intents of the founders. it depends on how you read the federalist papers in today's 21st-century legal climate, how you interpret each one differently than the other. hayden: would it be helpful for people to get into it now? brinkley: i years that word foundational document, and there is no way you can understand the united states without the federalist papers. thomas payne, you might have done so they like the august autobiography -- autobiography of benjamin franklin, but the federalist papers is a founding document. it's fundamental to read those and understand that. unfortunately, we have downgraded teaching civics in high school, teaching government. for any teacher to try to get students to way into the federalist papers and division of hamilton, madison, and whatever else
