In this episode we discuss 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 While this letter went unpublished, it is an interesting insight into the concerns of our Founding Fathers and early America. What is most surprising is how Alexander focuses 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. Ultimately, many of the factors we discuss in this podcast (written over 200 years ago) have direct parallels to hot button issues discussed in our media everyday. For instance the role of the government in facilitating business and trade, the protection of personal property, avoidance of debt and taxes.
