Thanks for the article!

I just had a test on American History yesterday which dealt with the Revolution up to and including the ratification of the Constitution. Right now, we are going over the Jeffersonians(Madison) v. Hamiltons

From what I can see so far, Madison was a strict constructionist of the Constitution. He would turn over in his grave if he could see how big/overreaching our federal system is today.

No,dear, you are going over the Republicans *("Jeffersonians") and the Federalists ("Hamiltonians")

(*Don't confuse this with today meaning of the word. Back at the turn of the 18th century a Republican would be what we would call a liberal/Democrat today.)

Indeed, I believe many of our founders would be turning over in their graves if they could see the shape we are in today.
