As we move past the pivotal Pequot War and more toward the development of the New England Colonies, we are going to take a few weeks and begin to develop an outline of the philosophical approach to government, from my perspective, under our current order, The Constitution of the United States of America. Thumbnail sketches. Fragments of thoughts that outline what we ended up with as a Federal Government. We will begin to fill in these outlines with color over the next year or two with colonial experiences and examples. So we begin with the question: What's the purpose of government? I hope you enjoy this brief field trip away from the actual narrative.
