Huck writes as if Madison forced our Constitution on an unwilling country.

Incorrect as usual. Madison used the great political skill for which he was known, and successfully shepharded his government-expanding project through to ratification. The state conventions ratified it, and deserve the consequences.

He was, by all accounts, a brilliant politician, even if he was a failure as president, and even though his Federalist Papers are laughably wrong on almost every count.

Your hatred of our beloved Constitution blinds you to reality.

Madison was not the Pied Piper you wish him to be. He had no magical power to force other delegates to write the Constitution.

The Articles of Confederation had to be replaced. They were. Get over it.

You are without doubt the King of drive-by assaults on our beloved Constitution. You also regularly express a preference, if not admiration for the Confederacy. So let’s hear it. Tell FR why the Articles were superior. Give this forum a definitive essay. Huck’s opus magnus. Present your thoughts for critical review.
