It's my contention, that the Federalist Society thumbed its nose at Thomas Jefferson's warning to the American People and that they broke these laws to promote their cause. Furthermore, I contend that this is why Thomas Jefferson wrote his warning in his Notes on Virginia because Americans have little understanding of the dynamics of politics, which touches EVERY aspect of our lives. William Bennett Munro wrote in his book Social Civics, that two groups of people (Law students and non-law students) living in close proximity to each other, over time, will become suspicious of each other... and this is where America is today.

wHAT PERCENTATGE OF SOUTHERNERS OWNED SLAVES>? Is there a big difference between judging all blacks as thugs or all Irish as drunks, or all the southerners negatively due to the Slavery? I would guess the percentage of drunk Irish and thug blacks were small as were the percentage of slavery supporting southerners.
It's not the proportion that counts so much as the power wielded by the controlling minority. In a dictatorship, for example, nearly all the power is wielded by one person, but with a literal handful of lieutenants who bask in reflected glory, each of whom controls a handful of adherents in intersecting circles of diminishing power. A democracy, on the other hand, allows many centres of power that act to keep each other in check; at least until such time as a demagogue arises who provides a path for the concentration of power. Capitalism provides a simulacrum of democracy; again until the monopolisation of wealth increasingly restricts the choices of those that have least.
The U S has never been a democracy. It’s always been an oligarchy. The ruling elite in the southern states were slave owners. That’s why the insisted on counting their slaves as three-fifths of a man for purposes of representation in the federal government.
25% of white southerners owned slaves…and another 20% were involved in its trade…I’d say it’s pretty good chance if you were/are white and lived in the south, your were/are a racist POS…
Slavery was an Economic Tool & a Tool of Economics (read: Finance). From their fellow black (negroid) Overlords(Bosses/Tyrants) who captured them, shackled them & then sold them like wild animals to buyers who placed (pressed) them into employment/service! Given the Task at hand-to feed a hungry nation & world & cloth the same-there was REALISTICALLY no other way to get a fledgling (START-UP) nation going! Way too many factors of production & way too many required(necessary) inputs! The GREAT AMERICAN experiment (enterprise) would’ve never succeeded without Slavery! No differently than Pharaohs of Egypt would have never been able to build the pyramids without Jewish & African slaves! Man is an ECONOMIC ANIMAL: WANTS vs. NEEDS!

@@nfpnone8248The lack of a bill of rights and the risk of a standing army. They had just come off of a revolutionary war against a standing army so that represented significant danger to them. The anti-federalist papers were key to influencing Madison (the architect of the constitution) that the Bill of Rights were necessary when he originally opposed them as unnecessary. If you read the anti-federalist papers or at least the ones concerning a Standing Army, you will understand that the preparatory clause of the second amendment is referring to their fear of a standing army controlled by the President.

Those changes were the agreement to add amendments protecting individual rights to the constitution and to include the Right to Keep and Bear Arms as one of those amendments. Thus, we have the Bill of Rights.
@@carlc1864 Wrong! The antifederalist main argument was against the consolidation of the States into one simple republic that acted as a centralized government where the States were subjected to a higher authority which could require the States to reinstate slavery in States that had already abolished slavery, and other similar dictates to the States. The other main concern was that they were trying to change too many things as once and should take a stepwise approach where they could test out the changes and make sure they produced the desired results before making the next change. Antifederalist is actually a misnomer, what it means is they were against those who called themselves federalist, who the Antifederalist considered closet nationalists, as they saw the federalist as wanting a confederation of the States without a Senate where the large States would have all the power over the smaller States, which actually isn’t nationalism either, because it lacks the balance that is necessary to protect minority interest and minority participation in the legislative process. The antifederalist were actually strict federalist, where they believed in the equality of the States regardless of size, population or wealth, which is a pure democracy of the States. However a confederated republic with a senate balances the legislative process and protects not only the rights of the minority, which are the rights of the large States in a democracy and the rights of the small states in a republic without a senate, which is known as “legislative checks and balances”, which requires the concurrence of the People in their Collective Capacity and the States in their Collective Capacity to assent to any measure and gives the States assembled as equals with equal suffrage, the democracy of the States as the Union, the power of concurrence over all laws and all treaties. The Bill of Rights only puts constraints on the unchecked power of the States as the Union to protect individuals from decisions which would disenfranchise or otherwise oppress them, but as amendments of addition, they in no way impact the legislative assembly or the legislative process established by the Constitution of he United States or the Articles of Confederation. A Standing army was also not a concern, as in the Articles of Confederation and the Constitution of the United States, the Army and Naval forces necessary to protect the States from invasion and commerce was determined by the united States, in Congress assembled, the Union, not the individual states, even the militia that was required to kept in a state of readiness and properly equipped and to have weapons in public stores, was also determined by the States collectively as the united States, in congress assembled. The only substantive amendment to the Articles of Confederation was to change the apportionment of taxes on the States to pay the debts of the Union from an assessment of the different forms of property within each State to a per capita apportionment based upon an enumeration, which created equity, and coupled with the apportionment of representation by the same per capita apportionment created “No Taxation without Representation”, as all federal expenditures must be agreed to through participation of all the States which have correspondingly agreed to pay proportionally for those expenditures they created together as a union. I think you should review both the federalist and antifederalist papers, as well as the Constitution of the United States and the Articles of Confederation, because they only balanced the legislative process and made the assessment of taxes to pay the debts of Union more equitable, creating a More Perfect Union, keeping everything else the same. I suspect that you have never read the Articles of Confederation, and haven’t studied the antifederalist papers in a way that you can understand what they were advocating for, because they were trying to preserve democracy and avoid nationalism, or something worse than nationalism. I also agree with the antifederalist that an incremental approach would have been better, they could have easily added the Republican Form of Government established by Article 1 of the Constitution of the United States without changing anything else, and made sure it worked properly before making the more cosmetic changes of separating the government into different departments, which only allows the Senate the ability to concentrate on other matters or recess, to be called into actual secession when their consideration is necessary.
@@carlc1864 For some reason TH-cam erases my comments, I guess they don’t agree with what I’m saying. Your understanding of the arguments of the antifederalist are inaccurate. In fact antifederalist is a misnomer, because it only means they were against those who called themselves federalist, because they were strict federalist and believed in a democracy of the States as equals with equal suffrage to reach a majority consensus of all the States as the Union, and were against consolidation of the States into a centralized government, nationalism, which would rule over the States forcing the States to reinstate slavery in States that had already abolished slavery, and other similar dictates which disenfranchised the States. The other concern was that they were making too many changes at the same time, and wanted a more incremental approach, which I wholeheartedly agree with. The Bill of Rights had nothing to do with the Antifederalist arguments, as they are only amendments of addition to put constraints on the collective power of the States as the Union, and do not in any way change the legislative assembly or the legislative process, which is what the Constitution of the United States and the Articles of Confederation establish. To constitute means to form or assemble, and the only thing formed and assembled by the Constitution of the United States, and the Articles of Confederation, is congress as a legislative assembly of the States governed by legislative processes to make the collective decisions of the States as the Union. A standing army was also not a concern, as the army and navy that was necessary to protect the States from invasion and to protect commerce was established in both documents as collective decisions of the States as the Union assembled in Congress. To be blunt, you are hunting in the wrong field! The Antifederalist were against nationalism and were concerned with an all or nothing approach to making changes. And I actually agree with them on both counts!
@@nfpnone8248 I suppose you wanted your 2 major arguments validated and that is where I disagree. Yes, they made those arguments along with many others and while they may have intended the argument to vote against the constitution as their major argument. That is not how it evolved. The reasons that I used strongest to describe the ones I brought up is because they were the most successful and resulted in a change. That change was to prepare and seek the approval of the amendments immediately after approval. Unalienable rights were first brought up in Antifederalist Paper #4 and rights and Bill of Rights appeared in multiple Antifederalist papers from that point until they concluded with Antifederalist #84 "On The Lack of a BIll Of Rights". So yes, the Bill of Rights was core to their argument throughout the Antifederalist papers. Regarding a Standing Army, I suggest you read Antifederalist paper # 24 Objections To a Standing Army (Part I) and #25 Objections to a Standing Army (Part II) and top that off with #29 Objections to National Control of the Militia. Of course, objections to the standing army were also brought up in several other Antifederalist papers as a reoccurring objection. So, my Dog does hunt and managed to point out the most successful arguments of the Antifederalist Papers. Particularly those that were later adopted to amend the constitution.

Hamilton only proposed his "own system of government" at the constitutional convention to offer contrast to the "Virginia Plan". This mechanism is what gave the Virginia Plan the consensus it needed to go forward. It's clear in the Federalist writings Hamilton was no royalist but was the most staunch defender of our constitution.

I believe the first documents written on abuse of power was the Magna Carta - Magna Carta was issued in June 1215 and was the first document to put into writing the principle that the king and his government was not above the law. It sought to prevent the king from exploiting his power, and placed limits of royal authority by establishing law as a power in itself. thinking for myself" ----- Thomas Jefferson To Hopkinson, 1789 I am not a federalist, because I never submitted the whole system of my opinions to the creed of any party of men whatever, in religion, in philosophy, in politics or in anything else, where I was capable of thinking for myself. Such an addiction, is the last degradation of a free and moral agent. If I could not go to heaven but with a party, I would not go there at all. Let us not betray freedom by embracing slave masters; let us not betray self-government with world government; let us celebrate Jefferson and Madison, not Marx and Lenin."

The "Federalist Papers" were newspaper articles, an advertising campaign with the admitted purpose of SELLING the Constitution -- and were written AFTER the Constitution was drafted and submitted to the states for consideration and ratification. And they were written by three of the more than 50 delegates to the Constitutional Convention who were FOR ratification -- the Federalists. Countering them were those opposed to ratification -- the Anti-Federalists. For that reason the "Federalist Papers" _CANNOT_ be the "origins" of the Constitution. Those origins PRECEDED they writing of the Constitution -- recommended reading: _The Evolution of the Constitution of the United States: Showing that it is a Development of Progressive History and not an Isolated Document Struck Off at a Given Time or an Imitation of English or Dutch Forms of Government._ (Philadelphia: J. B. Lippincott, 1897; Union, NJ: The Lawbook Exchange, 1997; Delanco, NJ: The Legal Classics Library, 2003), Sydney George Fisher. Fisher [1856-1927] was a prominent historian and lawyer, who was admitted to the Pennsylvania bar in 1883 after legal studies at Harvard University. His _Evolution of the Constitution_ collates for the first time all the various provisions of colonial documents that served as source material for the Constitution. Asserting that the Constitution was neither an imitation nor an invention, Fisher traces every material clause back to its origin. Twenty-nine colonial charters and constitutions, seventeen Revolutionary constitutions, and twenty-three plans of union are the resulting source materials from which Fisher draws his analysis. Abundant quotations from the sixty-nine documents illustrate the evolutionary nature of the Constitution and make this a valuable sourcebook for the reader who desires to find in one volume the Constitution's many and varied origins.

WRONG!!!! The Federalist papers did NOT predate the Constitution… Federal Papers were to explain the newly written text of the Constitution to the people. To explain the articles and why each was included. Wake Up!!!!
This is enjoyable, but hampered by annoying unnecessary mispronunciations. “Publius” was not a guy on a barstool at the corner pub. The name is pronounced: “poob-lee-us.” The Italic tribe whose Sabine kings ruled over Rome before the Roman Republic was founded were not named after the Swedish carmaker . They were not the “Saab-ens.” Their name is pronounced: “Sah-beens.” Elbridge Gerry served as Madison’s Vice President and had a notable political career; however he didn’t lend his name to Gary, Indiana. His greatest fame is from having ingeniously (or deviously) created wildly distorted shapes for congressional district borders to maximize the number elected from his own political faction/party. That practice, still in existence today in some degree, is called gerrymandering. It is pronounced: “jer-ee-man-der” not “ger-ee-man-der.”
Change is custom to our constitution's guard rails . our first president did argue against a 2 party system back then and warned against party pride. Our global influence must reign superior and now is time we have a kings party and a queens party or ladies and gentlemen party. According to birth certificate you belong to our body politic. Never look for problems to a solution . you'll never set the example with out customary change.
The origin of your constitution is Native Ideology.... For the people by the people.... Ben Franklin wrote most of the constitution and he spent a great deal of time with Natives, and wrote about it a fair bit, you should read his old papers, so it's kinda an odd mix of old British laws and Native Ideology, The Great Law of Peace is from Natives is pretty much your constitution.

The antifederalist main argument was against the consolidation of the States into one simple republic that acted as a centralized government where the States were subjected to a higher authority which could require the States to reinstate slavery in States that had already abolished slavery, and other similar dictates to the States. The other main concern was that they were trying to change too many things as once and should take a stepwise approach where they could test out the changes and make sure they produced the desired results before making the next change.
Antifederalist is actually a misnomer, what it means is they were against those who called themselves federalist, who the Antifederalist considered closet nationalists, as they saw the federalist as wanting a confederation of the States without a Senate where the large States would have all the power over the smaller States, which actually isn’t nationalism either, because it lacks the balance that is necessary to protect minority interest and minority participation in the legislative process. The antifederalist were actually strict federalist, where they believed in the equality of the States regardless of size, population or wealth, which is a pure democracy of the States.
However a confederated republic with a senate balances the legislative process and protects not only the rights of the minority, which are the rights of the large States in a democracy and the rights of the small states in a republic without a senate, which is known as “legislative checks and balances”, which requires the concurrence of the People in their Collective Capacity and the States in their Collective Capacity to assent to any measure and gives the States assembled as equals with equal suffrage, the democracy of the States as the Union, the power of concurrence over all laws and all treaties.
The Bill of Rights only puts constraints on the unchecked power of the States as the Union to protect individuals from decisions which would disenfranchise or otherwise oppress them, but as amendments of addition, they in no way impact the legislative assembly or the legislative process established by the Constitution of he United States or the Articles of Confederation.
A Standing army was also not a concern, as in the Articles of Confederation and the Constitution of the United States, the Army and Naval forces necessary to protect the States from invasion and commerce was determined by the united States, in Congress assembled, the Union, not the individual states, even the militia that was required to kept in a state of readiness and properly equipped and to have weapons in public stores, was also determined by the States collectively as the united States, in congress assembled.
The only substantive amendment to the Articles of Confederation was to change the apportionment of taxes on the States to pay the debts of the Union from an assessment of the different forms of property within each State to a per capita apportionment based upon an enumeration, which created equity, and coupled with the apportionment of representation by the same per capita apportionment created “No Taxation without Representation”, as all federal expenditures must be agreed to through participation of all the States which have correspondingly agreed to pay proportionally for those expenditures they created together as a union.
I think you should review both the federalist and antifederalist papers, as well as the Constitution of the United States and the Articles of Confederation, because they only balanced the legislative process and made the assessment of taxes to pay the debts of Union more equitable, creating a More Perfect Union, keeping everything else the same.
I suspect that you have never read the Articles of Confederation, and haven’t studied the antifederalist papers in a way that you can understand what they were advocating for, because they were trying to preserve democracy and avoid nationalism, or something worse than nationalism. I also agree with the antifederalist that an incremental approach would have been better, they could have easily added the Republican Form of Government established by Article 1 of the Constitution of the United States without changing anything else, and made sure it worked properly before making the more cosmetic changes of separating the government into different departments, which only allows the Senate the ability to concentrate on other matters or recess, to be called into actual secession when their consideration is necessary.

For some reason TH-cam erases my comments, I guess they don’t agree with what I’m saying.
Your understanding of the arguments of the antifederalist are inaccurate. In fact antifederalist is a misnomer, because it only means they were against those who called themselves federalist, because they were strict federalist and believed in a democracy of the States as equals with equal suffrage to reach a majority consensus of all the States as the Union, and were against consolidation of the States into a centralized government, nationalism, which would rule over the States forcing the States to reinstate slavery in States that had already abolished slavery, and other similar dictates which disenfranchised the States. The other concern was that they were making too many changes at the same time, and wanted a more incremental approach, which I wholeheartedly agree with.
The Bill of Rights had nothing to do with the Antifederalist arguments, as they are only amendments of addition to put constraints on the collective power of the States as the Union, and do not in any way change the legislative assembly or the legislative process, which is what the Constitution of the United States and the Articles of Confederation establish. To constitute means to form or assemble, and the only thing formed and assembled by the Constitution of the United States, and the Articles of Confederation, is congress as a legislative assembly of the States governed by legislative processes to make the collective decisions of the States as the Union.
A standing army was also not a concern, as the army and navy that was necessary to protect the States from invasion and to protect commerce was established in both documents as collective decisions of the States as the Union assembled in Congress.
To be blunt, you are hunting in the wrong field! The Antifederalist were against nationalism and were concerned with an all or nothing approach to making changes. And I actually agree with them on both counts!
@@nfpnone8248 I suppose you wanted your 2 major arguments validated and that is where I disagree. Yes, they made those arguments along with many others and while they may have intended the argument to vote against the constitution as their major argument. That is not how it evolved. The reasons that I used strongest to describe the ones I brought up is because they were the most successful and resulted in a change. That change was to prepare and seek the approval of the amendments immediately after approval. Unalienable rights were first brought up in Antifederalist Paper #4 and rights and Bill of Rights appeared in multiple Antifederalist papers from that point until they concluded with Antifederalist #84 "On The Lack of a BIll Of Rights". So yes, the Bill of Rights was core to their argument throughout the Antifederalist papers. Regarding a Standing Army, I suggest you read Antifederalist paper # 24 Objections To a Standing Army (Part I) and #25 Objections to a Standing Army (Part II) and top that off with #29 Objections to National Control of the Militia. Of course, objections to the standing army were also brought up in several other Antifederalist papers as a reoccurring objection. So, my Dog does hunt and managed to point out the most successful arguments of the Antifederalist Papers. Particularly those that were later adopted to amend the constitution.

I want to love this. But the amount of rabbit trails between points is just too much 😵💫🥵
Yes, and the unfinished sentences: more than half.
Hamilton only proposed his "own system of government" at the constitutional convention to offer contrast to the "Virginia Plan". This mechanism is what gave the Virginia Plan the consensus it needed to go forward. It's clear in the Federalist writings Hamilton was no royalist but was the most staunch defender of our constitution.
Interesting.
I’m gonna be captain Obvious and say that Benjamin Franklin was a wise, wise man!

What makes think American historians that knowing a bunch of "fun facts", gossips, personal details of individual characters is better than seing the big picture and give perspective to the events of the past?

"I am a reference librarian of the library here." OK, where is here? If this is on government time, we need to know your authority to speak for our nation. As our employee, you are burdened to provide truth.
The people are the government's by law of our creator.
52:45 it's okay to be ignorant and forget about all the southerners that died in prison after the war. Just because history isn't taught in the north, doesn't mean it didn't happen. In fact if not for the southerners holding on to heritage would we see both sides of the war and realize it's not something we want to do again. You said you weren't going to get political and then you shit on 1/3 of the country.
Anyone who gets dubbed the Prince of Darkness by San Franciscan political society is ok in my book lol
I'm from the south, and I've ALWAYS thought it is "gross" in it's thinking , too.
The people know nothing because you don't understand 100% but I😂😂😂😂
I believe the first documents written on abuse of power was the Magna Carta -
Magna Carta was issued in June 1215 and was the first document to put into writing the principle that the king and his government was not above the law. It sought to prevent the king from exploiting his power, and placed limits of royal authority by establishing law as a power in itself.
thinking for myself"
----- Thomas Jefferson To Hopkinson, 1789
I am not a federalist, because I never submitted the whole system of my opinions to the creed of any party of men whatever, in religion, in philosophy, in politics or in anything else, where I was capable of thinking for myself. Such an addiction, is the last degradation of a free and moral agent. If I could not go to heaven but with a party, I would not go there at all.
Let us not betray freedom by embracing slave masters; let us not betray self-government with world government; let us celebrate Jefferson and Madison, not Marx and Lenin."
My gid hes amazingly 😂❤❤
He is freaking Disney villian!
Can't get taxation right either. Government only has the right to tax those in one area of America and it's considered a district! Look it up...
He sound like the brits, and I am really tired of the big mouth that are here talking down our rights, and the constitution, especially in these crazy people and the people coming into our country helping to tare down our government and taking away our rights.
No president for life, and no king or queen, or someone that is in office that are communist or a sort like collective socialist ,

The "Federalist Papers" were newspaper articles, an advertising campaign with the admitted purpose of SELLING the Constitution -- and were written AFTER the Constitution was drafted and submitted to the states for consideration and ratification.
And they were written by three of the more than 50 delegates to the Constitutional Convention who were FOR ratification -- the Federalists. Countering them were those opposed to ratification -- the Anti-Federalists.
For that reason the "Federalist Papers" _CANNOT_ be the "origins" of the Constitution. Those origins PRECEDED they writing of the Constitution -- recommended reading:
_The Evolution of the Constitution of the United States: Showing that it is a Development of Progressive History and not an Isolated Document Struck Off at a Given Time or an Imitation of English or Dutch Forms of Government._ (Philadelphia: J. B. Lippincott, 1897; Union, NJ: The Lawbook Exchange, 1997; Delanco, NJ: The Legal Classics Library, 2003), Sydney George Fisher.
Fisher [1856-1927] was a prominent historian and lawyer, who was admitted to the Pennsylvania bar in 1883 after legal studies at Harvard University. His _Evolution of the Constitution_ collates for the first time all the various provisions of colonial documents that served as source material for the Constitution. Asserting that the Constitution was neither an imitation nor an invention, Fisher traces every material clause back to its origin. Twenty-nine colonial charters and constitutions, seventeen Revolutionary constitutions, and twenty-three plans of union are the resulting source materials from which Fisher draws his analysis. Abundant quotations from the sixty-nine documents illustrate the evolutionary nature of the Constitution and make this a valuable sourcebook for the reader who desires to find in one volume the Constitution's many and varied origins.

WRONG!!!! The Federalist papers did NOT predate the Constitution… Federal Papers were to explain the newly written text of the Constitution to the people. To explain the articles and why each was included. Wake Up!!!!
How do you know this?
True. And the Federalist Papers where declared by Jay to be primary source legislative intent for the USC.

This is enjoyable, but hampered by annoying unnecessary mispronunciations.
“Publius” was not a guy on a barstool at the corner pub. The name is pronounced:
“poob-lee-us.”
The Italic tribe whose Sabine kings ruled over Rome before the Roman Republic was founded were not named after the Swedish carmaker . They were not the “Saab-ens.” Their name is pronounced: “Sah-beens.”
Elbridge Gerry served as Madison’s Vice President and had a notable political career; however he didn’t lend his name to Gary, Indiana. His greatest fame is from having ingeniously (or deviously) created wildly distorted shapes for congressional district borders to maximize the number elected from his own political faction/party.
That practice, still in existence today in some degree, is called gerrymandering. It is pronounced: “jer-ee-man-der” not “ger-ee-man-der.”

Change is custom to our constitution's guard rails . our first president did argue against a 2 party system back then and warned against party pride.
Our global influence must reign superior and now is time we have a kings party and a queens party or ladies and gentlemen party. According to birth certificate you belong to our body politic. Never look for problems to a solution . you'll never set the example with out customary change.

Sounded fine on my end.
Wanted to watch this but way too many sort of & kind of fillers in just the first minute. F-ing crazy😢
The origin of your constitution is Native Ideology.... For the people by the people.... Ben Franklin wrote most of the constitution and he spent a great deal of time with Natives, and wrote about it a fair bit, you should read his old papers, so it's kinda an odd mix of old British laws and Native Ideology, The Great Law of Peace is from Natives is pretty much your constitution. You know that Native fella called Hiawatha... the confederation of Native tribes...
