Question

This week we are discussion the Constitution, the founding document of the United States, as well as the Federalist Papers. Here we are, in 2023, still discussing the Constitution regularly and whether or not it's being adhered to, respected, what exactly it means, etc.  It's important to realize that the Constitution doesn't do anything other than set up the structure of the government.  It is not individual laws.  It sets up an institution. Look at the structure of it and the various roles that are created.  Then think about our current government.

I've also included more Hamilton... (side note: Does anyone know of a Hamilton Anonymous group I can join?  I love it way too much -- I promise, I'll stop... maybe).  The clips takes place after the war has finished and the "Founding Fathers" are trying to create the United States' Constitution and set up our government and various .  We also have to figure out if we're going to help the French in their revolution the way they helped us...
