I would also add reading Federalist 81 (or 78 I forget at times) the original intent of the judiciary was quite limited in scope. What it has evolved to (review of state laws, etc.) was not the original intent either. Misinterpretation by progressive courts in the 20th century of the 14th Amendment have taken that evolvement to great lengths unimagined by the Framers as well
I used to have the Federalist Papers on my PDA and was reading thru them, but the PDA kicked the bucket and I never finished. You’re making me think I need to start over ~ I remember really enjoying reading them.
