À propos de ce contenu audio
This week we break down the Federalists, who looked at the Constitution and said, “No worries, all your rights are in there… somewhere.” Figures like Alexander Hamilton, John Jay, and James Madison argued that listing rights was unnecessary—and possibly dangerous—because surely the government would never abuse powers that were only vaguely defined. History, as always, was taking notes.
Then we turn to the Anti-Federalists, who were not buying the “trust us” model of governance. Writers using pen names—because criticizing the foundation of the country was already risky business—pushed hard for explicit protections. Figures often associated with this camp, like Patrick Henry, argued that guaranteed rights didn’t weaken the Constitution—they strengthened it. Shockingly, demanding written limits on government power turned out to be a good idea. Who could’ve guessed?
