That's really interesting. I'm not a lawyer, just someone who did his thesis on Madison, specifically why the Constitution didn't fail in the way he thought it would; I can only speak to that. I'll read the PDF, thanks.
If you want, the Library of Congress has copies of his correspondence and notes, they're a really interesting read. You can also find them at http://oll.libertyfund.org/index.php http://oll.libertyfund.org/index.php
- rayiner 14y agoPash is right, but I think he overstates his case a bit. It's important to realize that there are as many original interpretations of the Constitution as there are framers, and that the Federalist Papers represents the views of a certain subset of the people who wrote the Constitution. They are a popular reference, but they are by no means gospel.
