Cary and Justin return to discuss Hamilton’s prolific paper, Federalist 27.  Included in this episode are gems such as, “Good people like good government, and bad people like bad government.”  Also, Cary teases a conspiracy theory like no other.  Enjoy!

Cary, Justin, and Hamilton return to continue the discussion about standing armies.  After a break, the guys are back.  Join us for a new episode!!

Hamilton recognizes the concern of standing armies in peacetime, and the danger to liberty they represent.  As a way to calm these concerns, he offers a method by which the Legislative branch can check the power of the Executive.  Instead of attacking his critics head on, Hamilton employs the “neutral observer” as a method of demonstrating how no well-reasoned person could possibly disagree with his position.

Hamilton returns to discus what sort of protection the federal government should provide to its member states, how much power the federal government should have, and how the federal government will exercise that power.  During this paper, Hamilton reveals himself as a closet monarchist, and a champion of the Leviathan.  Emperor Palpatine would be proud!!
