Jim,

Thanks for posting this and the other Anti-Federalist papers. We were so close to a republic that could last for a long time.

Honest question: Do you think that the Federalists saw greed as an opportunity to exert influence to make personal gain or merely capitulation to form a more perfect union?

[Jim Robinson]

No.

"In so extensive a republic, the great officers of government would soon become above the controul of the people, and abuse their power to the purpose of aggrandizing themselves, and oppressing them."

Hmmmmmmmmmm........kinda sounds right.
