I wish to apologize to those of you who complained about my lack of formatting. It has been a long time since I posted regularly to FREEP, and I guess I am getting old. Formatting never crossed my mind. I promise I won't forget again.

I think the biggest problem with figuring out what the Framers meant is that they were setting up something that had never been set up before.

Montesquieu came up with his theory of separation of government into three powers in 1748, for criyi. Nobody ever tried it before us.

You have three Founders (Hamilton, Madison and Jay) writing the Federalist Papers, and you've got a slew of other Founders writing the Anti-Federalist Papers. Personally, I am philosophically more in tune with the Anti-Federalists. Don't they count?

And then who kept the most comprehensive set of notes at the Constitutional Convention? Madison.

Is the Constitution the work of James Madison alone? Or the work of Madison, Jay and Hamilton alone? I submit not.

Leave it to Dr. Williams to put it in plain simple terms that even We the People can understand. No one an argue with his statements.
