The Constitution was presented to the States in its entirety; how big was the stimilus bill; was it all shown to the nation?

I find a comparison of the two to be a risible comparison.

The writings of the Founders is political philosophy. How many people wish to be knowledgeable in the field, and how many are willing to undertake the work? I believe the numbers diminish as the course proceeds, just as in any college class.

Your efforts are the best that I have seen. The presentation allows greater inspection and encourages more thought between the sentences. I print each of these up and contemplate their meaning - - and what fostered the author’s thoughts.

Keep it up!

Yes.

Not to mention that the issues addressed in The Constitution were discussed, pro and con, for more than twenty years prior to the convention in addition to the 9 months between adoption and ratification, and many of these issues were worked out in the practical workshops of numberless American churches and local governments for the prior 150 years. There was no American who was not conversant with the questions at issue. We know this to be true because it is attested by numerous of the finest intellects of that time, such as Thomas Jefferson and William Bradford, and even retrospectively by a famous person, who was French by birth, but spoke and thought like an American . . . Alexis de Tocqueville.

Thanks Publius, for your work. It is appreciated.
