The ones that were correct though were right on point. Amazing to see so much extrapolated from a reading of the document. I don’t get why so many went for it. I get why Hamilton and some of the other big gubmint types did. But I don’t get Madison at all. He’s seems too smart to have been so confused. Then again, he was very young. I almost think he got manipulated.

I challenge you to back up your comment.

What aspects of the Constitution do you admire?

I think Masison was worried about the young Republics survival on a financial and organizational basis. I have read about the post revolutionary debt turmoil leading to Shay’s rebellion and similar incidents. The states were only looking after their own interests and letting the larger republic flounder.

Many felt we would soon fall apart and be devoured piece meal.
