Norm- have you had a chance to read the anti-federalist papers also? I might suggest packaging them together for a nice point/counter-point.
I'd love to have one, please.
Add me to the list.
Oh yes, please!
Read it when I was a senior in high school... I've learned a lot since then. It would be great to own a copy and dip into it to see how I understand what "Publius" is saying now. I'm afraid that when I first read it I was the sort of callow, credulous kid who lets the weight of all that history, reputation and authority bend me from -- indeed shape -- my principles. Today I think I should read them for their historical significance, not as a touchstone for political thought.
In other words, I believe in Democracy today in a way that it seems clear that Publius did not. But without Publius' persuasive powers, this republic would not have been shaped and launched, the foundations for a democratic state would not have been laid.
Whatever. Please enter me in the lottery!
I'm in!
