  • Welcome to "Making a Great America," a podcast dedicated to exploring the meticulous thought and effort that went into the design of the Constitution of the United States.

    This series is intended as a non-partisan historical review, aimed at enlightening listeners of all political persuasions about the foundational principles of our government. Our goal is to share the rich history behind the Constitution and the reasons why understanding this history is crucial for the survival of our republic.

    During the fall of 1787 and the spring of 1788, three remarkable men—John Jay, Alexander Hamilton, and James Madison—worked tirelessly to write a series of essays known as the Federalist Papers. These essays were crafted to convince the citizens of the newly independent states to ratify the Constitution, establishing a constitutional republic that balanced power and safeguarded liberties. Their efforts were instrumental in shaping the framework of the government we know today.

    In "Making a Great America," we do not argue for or against any political position.

    Instead, we aim to report history accurately, informatively, and with easy listening.

    By delving into the writings and ideas of the Founding Fathers, we provide listeners with a deeper understanding of the Constitution's origins and the profound care taken to ensure a balanced and fair government. Our episodes are designed to be engaging and accessible, making complex historical concepts easy to grasp.

    We believe that knowledge of our government and its creation is essential to its continued survival. As such, we encourage you to subscribe to our podcast and share it widely with friends, family, and colleagues. Together, let's foster a greater appreciation for the history that continues to shape our nation.

    Benjamin Franklin explained to a curious woman after the continental congress finished about what kind of government was created.

    His response: "A Republic . . . . IF you can keep it!"

  • Federalist Paper #22: The Necessity of a Government as Energetic as the One Proposed to the Preservation of the Union

    Federalist Paper #22: The Necessity of a Government as Energetic as the One Proposed to the Preservation of the Union
    2024/07/12

    Federalist Paper #22, written by Alexander Hamilton, addresses the weaknesses of the Articles of Confederation, emphasizing the need for a stronger central government. He highlights issues such as the lack of a unified national defense, inadequate regulation of commerce, and the inability to enforce laws uniformly across states. Hamilton argues that these deficiencies lead to disunity and inefficiency, jeopardizing national security and economic stability. He advocates for the proposed Constitution, which provides a more robust federal structure, capable of addressing these critical issues and ensuring a more effective and cohesive governance.

    Federalist Paper #21: Other Defects of the Present Confederation
    2024/07/12

    Federalist Paper No. 21, authored by Alexander Hamilton, critiques the Articles of Confederation, highlighting key deficiencies: the lack of federal enforcement power, unreliable national finances, and inconsistent national defense. Hamilton argues that without direct authority, the federal government cannot enforce laws effectively, leading to chaos. The reliance on voluntary state contributions results in financial instability. Additionally, the dependence on state militias for defense leaves the nation vulnerable. Hamilton advocates for a new Constitution that provides robust enforcement mechanisms, stable

  • Anti Federalist Paper Brutus No. 1: The Dangers of a Powerful Central Government

    Anti Federalist Paper Brutus No. 1: The Dangers of a Powerful Central Government
    2024/07/11

    Anti-Federalist Paper Brutus No. 1, likely written by Robert Yates, argues against the ratification of the proposed U.S. Constitution. Brutus fears that the Constitution grants too much power to the federal government, risking the erosion of state sovereignty and individual liberties. He contends that a large republic would struggle to adequately represent the diverse interests of its citizens, leading to governance challenges and potential tyranny. Brutus criticizes the necessary and proper clause and the supremacy clause, warning that they grant the federal government excessive discretionary power, ultimately undermining the authority of the states.
