I don't believe the Constitution takes a back seat to the Federalist Papers, or the Anti Federalist Papers for that matter. The Constitution stands alone and should be interpreted with the original intent that the Founders envisioned. If someone wants to read the Federalist Papers and the Anti Federalist Papers in order to educate themselves on other writings of the Founding Fathers, I say, have at it.

I'm sorry---I mistook you for someone who knew what the Federalist Papers were. My mistake---sorry for the interruption.

Words fail me.

Stop acting like a juvenile. I know what the Federalist Papers are and they're not part of the US Constitution. The FP were written in response to what became known later as, the Anti Federalist Papers. The FP were intended to explain the newly written US Constitution to the residents of New York state in the hope of persuading them to ratify it. The FP are not, I repeat, are not part of the US Constitution. The FP have no power in governing this great nation.
