While not within this particular letter, I have a Constitutional question.
Does the SCOTUS have final control over the other branches of gum’t. In particular, can a debt holder sue to stop the fedrool administrative/legislative unConstitutional actions and misappropriations, and force the USA into receivership? The people own the property, yet the gum’t is not using it wisely (ie: lands stopped from developing oil, coal, gas, paths to our own energy security).
Can the Court order a complete and accurate accounting and hold liable those who have stolen from us?
How do we start?

But the fact is, that we already hear it whispered in the private circles of those who oppose the new Constitution, that the thirteen States are of too great extent for any general system

Seems like the same strawman Jay employed in #2. Where was there a serious argument for disunion?? I don't know of any. It wasn't argued that 13 colonies was too big for ANY form of union. The opponents of the Constitution wanted to preserve the CONFEDERACY under the Articles of Confederation. What they argued was that the Union was too big for a SINGLE, CONSOLIDATED, NATIONAL government. A league of states, working together in Congress, was fine.

We defeated the British WITHOUT the Constitution.
