A Time to Look Back as We Move Forward. The Federalist Papers Number Two by Publius. Introduction by John Hamilton
Posted by: thepinetree on 02/13/2019 11:06 PM
Arnold, CA...Federalist Two was written by John Jay and is "Concerning Dangers from Foreign Force and Influence" and is below our intro and is available in an audio format if you click the image below. In our sharply politically divided country it may be time for us all to look back and reaffirm that our country really is a collection of ideas and ideals. The Life, Liberty and the Pursuit of Happiness that we all at times take for granted was hard fought and narrowly won. In the end our allegiance is not to a King, Dictator or Strong Man but too each other. One thing the founding fathers all agreed on was that human nature is subject to weakness and they took into account human frailties. They devised a system that has at many times protected us from man's and woman's worst enemy which is the reflection that stares back at us all from the mirror.
