I always love a good walk through our history and Mr. Ellis is a favored historian. Good analysis of Madison (Father of our Constitution) and his shifting and seemingly contradictory positions about the role of government and the Constitution. This is an examination of Founders' concessions to get to a plan for central government, how those arguments remain unresolved and how our present political climate is , by design, a continuation of that argument.
