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.

Morgan is back in the studio, recapping Federalist 2-5 written by John Jay as Publius.
Using Scotland joining Great Britain as a case study to compare and contrast America & its colonies; Publius again advocates in favor of one unified America as opposed to many smaller states. The main reason being, come wartime or conflict, rallying an entire nation of people is far easier than generating support from many smaller nations or confederacies.

Morgan is back in the studio, discussing Federalist 4 written by John Jay as Publius. After providing a recap on Federalist 2 & 3, Morgan breaks down Jay’s continuation of why & how the American people ought to best protect themselves & their interests.
Rather than international relations and what Publius calls ‘just causes’ of war, Federalist 4 touches more on the less apparent & more unique causes of war: things like economic competition, trade tension, and other ‘unjust causes’ of war, and how to best prevent them as one united America.
