Freedom Papers

This week Morgan Zegers is joined by Connor Clegg, and they’re taking a deep-dive history lesson into the Articles of Confederation and Federalist Paper No. 15. 

The Articles of Confederation were rushed and weak, and part of that comes from people’s apprehension of centralized government at the time of its conception in 1777. However, Federalist Paper No. 15 is the first in a series of papers to explain the weaknesses of the Articles of Confederation and how to strengthen the US on the world stage.

Morgan Zegers is joined this week by co-host Connor Clegg to discuss Madison's "Objections to the Proposed Constitution From Extent of Territory Answered." Federalist No. 14 weighs the advantages of creating a republic instead of a democracy. 

In this episode, Morgan and Connor explain the Founders' brilliance in averting the inevitable corruption and disintegration of a democratic structure. Madison describes how a republic with a small federal government would allow America to grow while still providing representation and protection for the minority.

Morgan Zegers is joined this week by co-host Jon Root to discuss the importance of conscious buying, having an enlightened public, and Federalist Paper No. 13.

In this episode, Morgan and Jon examine the economic benefits of ratifying the constitution. Federalist Paper No. 13, “Advantage of the Union in Respect to Economy in Government”, explores the advantages of having a united country working together to pool all of their diverse resources instead of relying on foreign trade. Creating a self-sustaining economy would allow the union to stay competitive on the world stage.

Morgan Zegers is back in the studio, this week joined by Connor Clegg, to discuss Federalist 9, Alexander Hamilton's continued response to the Anti-Federalists. The Anti-Federalists, pointing to Montisque for reference, believed that it was natural for a republic to have “only a small territory; otherwise, it cannot long subsist.” 

Hamilton uses Federalist 9 to emphasize the importance of establishing a system of checks and balances in order to ensure that the Union remains intact and functioning smoothly, while also safeguarding the nation against domestic tyranny and conflicts.

Morgan Zegers is back in the studio to discuss Federalist 8, Alexander Hamilton's continued warning & advice on how best to prevent conflict between states, and the consequences that said hostility brings. 

By addressing why and how a union exists, Hamilton not only urges for a union of States but also suggests that a strong Union is one with strong ties to two or more countries.

Morgan Zegers and Alex Spencer discuss Federalist 7, Alexander Hamilton's continuation on Concerning Dangers from Dissensions Between the States.

Hamilton emphasized the importance of uniting the states to avoid potential points of contention. By building a strong union, he hoped to avoid a long history of human tendency for conflict. Moreover, Hamilton understood that existing and future foreign enemies would stand to benefit the most from a fractured nation.

Morgan is once again in the studio, this week breaking down Federalist 6 written by Alexander Hamilton. 

By advocating for the benefits of a union between the American states, Hamilton believed that commercial ties between separate republics or States were not enough for stability or cooperation. He summarily voices his support for a more extensive Union. In doing so, he hopes to downplay the possibility of dissension between states, and advocates for the creation of a Union of states.
