And just for the sake of argument, the Anti's were right about a lot more than the Federalists were.
Hope you're having a wonderful 4th.
Best,

Excuse me? Why are you “focusing” on my post? If you don’t like it, ignore it.
Just because...
Sometimes when you get down to playground politics, it helps those who are a bit...challenged...
BTW, there are a lot more lies out there than just this one I suppose...There are memory cashes that Free Republic has around here that could fill up a few volumes...
My comment was intended as sarcasm. Sorry if you were offended or didn't understand.

"The Federalist," published as "A Commentary On The Constitution Of The United States Consisting Of A Collection Of Essays, Written In Support Of The Constitution Agreed Upon By the Federal Convention On September 17, 1787," was a "collection of 85 essays which make up The Federalist originally published anonymously in New York newspapers during the Fall of 1787 and the Spring of 1788 as a means of convincing the citizens of the State of New York of the advantages of their ratifying the new Constitution. Each was addressed 'To the People of the State of New York.' In 1788 they wee published in a two-volume edition for use in the ratification process in the other states. They were accepted by the people of the founding generation as accurate expositions of the meaning and intent of the Constitution.
"As a matter of fact, they were among those documents which the Board of Visitors of the University of Virginia in 1825 directed to be used as the text for its law school in its studies of "the general principles of liberty and the rights of man." "The Federalist," the Board minutes indicate, "constitute 'an authority to which appeal is habitually made by all, and rarely declined or denied by any as evidence of the general opinion of those who framed, and of those who accepted the Constitution of the U. S., on questions as to its genuine meaning.'" (Quoted from Thomas Jefferson's record of the Board of Visitors meeting)
The above paragraphs are quoted from "Our Ageless Constitution," P. 225, as a preface to reprinted portions of "The Federalist." OAC is a 320-page 1987 Bicentennial Volume honoring the philosophy and principles of the U. S. Constitution.
William, The Slick, of Arkansas should have been impeached and removed the day he issued that E.O. That’s far more solid grounds for removal than the one he was finally impeached for. But that misses the major point that he should not have been elected to any public office in this country. The electorate is politically and morally insane.
