Ping to keep up on this and bookmark. Will have to wait to read in 3 hours (gotta take care of something). I’d like to be in on a Federalist Paper discussion group.

The author neglected to mention that the Swiss dropped their famous confederacy in 1848 and replaced it with a two house legislative, judicial and executive parliamentary system.

If confederacies are so great, I wonder why did not more of them develop since the 18th century?
