After going through The Federalist Papers for the first time in my life, it was found that this book of papers written over 200 years ago still applies to our society today in the 21st century. Must say it is easier to listen to than to sit down and read but then the reading was meant more for research purposes than reading cover to cover as a newspapers. One can find how the Constitution actually does apply in the case of indicting a sitting POTUS. In order to indict a sitting POTUS, the sitting POTUS must be impeached first including the Senate finding for the impeachment with a 2/3 vote. If that does not apply to the discussion in 2018 for something written 230 years ago, I don't know what does. #application #Constittution #impeachment #Tagsviving #Sweepstakes

There is far too much debate over the constitution and the intentions of the founding fathers who wrote it. Yet, far too few opinions are espoused in the light of having read these letters and the elucidation they provide on the subject. This is truly a must read for all Americans.

HEADING

This is a worthwhile time investment to understand the origins of the American democracy. The foundations of the constitution are laid bear with some sobering explanations for the ideals from which the country evolved and has devolved. Pay attention to the limitations of communication in shaping representation as well as the wide berth into the 2nd amendment (2 particular "papers" are dedicated to the subject).

I liked the performance. It is not a story though, so I give it one star in that category.

This is not a story.

Everyone should read or revisit at least Federalist One. If you do I think historical context will lead you on.
