In this episode we continue our discussion of Alexander Hamilton's Conjectures About the New Constitution letter. While this letter went unpublished, it is an interesting insight into the concerns of our Founding Fathers and early America. Last week we discussed how it is surprising that Alexander focused in on the most basic needs of financial and physical security as the most important factors on both sides of the Constitutional debate for and against the adoption of the Constitution. In this week's episode, we consider Alexander's views on the outcome of the Constitutional debate and the likely courses the early Nation could take if it failed to wholly ratify the Constitution. In the end we will find that, in many ways, we ended up with the best case scenario given the fickle nature of history.

I hope you enjoy this episode and thank you for your interest!
