Small Federalist/Anti-Federalist ping. This is a blog post regretting that the two sets of founding papers are no longer taught in the schools.

I highly recommend the Federalist Paper #70 which describes the power of the Executive to repel an Invaision.

You occasionally find folk who have at least heard of the Federalist Papers, but it is extraordinarily rare (in my experience anyway) if you actually find someone who has heard of the Anti-federalist's writings, also known as Letters from a Federal Farmer. It's actually worthwhile to read them both simultaneously, as they are two sides of an argument, often focusing on the same topics. If you only read the Federalists, you're only getting half of the story.

If only the Federalist Papers and the anti-Federalist Papers were required readings in our school today
