Episode 16 - Letters from the Federal Farmer (Part 3)
Description
Welcome to the 16th episode of the American Social Fabric! This week we discuss the third letter in the series of anti-federalist letters known as the "Letters from the Federal Farmer to The Republican". In this episode, the author analyzes the structure of the federal government under the draft Constitution, gives his opinions on the issues inherent in that structure, and considers the powers he sees as improperly granted to it. You can find a copy of this letter at the following link:

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. Thank you for checking out the podcast and I hope you find some value in it!
