Episode 10 - The Federalist Papers No. 1 - Three Timely Warnings from Alexander Hamilton
Description
Welcome to the 10th episode of the American Social Fabric! This week we will discuss the first of the Federalist Paper articles published in the Independent Journal of New York on October 27, 1787. You can find a copy of this article here: https://guides.loc.gov/federalist-papers/text-1-10#s-lg-box-wrapper-25493264. Also, if you want to follow along in the book I am using as a primary source, it is called "The Essential Debate on the Constitution" and is edited by Robert J. Allison and Bernard Bailyn.
In this episode we explore the article and three of the "warnings" from Alexander Hamilton that are in the text and which are applicable to our modern context, and those are: 1) the danger of ego and hubris in political debate, 2) the dangers of political parties, and 3) the dangers of political pundits seeking power through appeals to liberty. After our discussion of the article, we move into the "Good" where we discuss goal setting and achieving your goals.
