Have We Strayed From the Federalist Papers' Vision? | Politics with Paul #99

The Federalist Papers remain a seminal work in political literature. But do their arguments hold up in today's America? Do we still embody the principles the Papers lay out? Today's episode of Politics with Paul looks at 6 of the most well-known and critical editions of these works meant to defend the then-new US Constitution: Federalists #10, #39, #51, #70, #78, and #84. With the upcoming 250th anniversary of American independence, there has been no better time than now to revisit their arguments, their strengths and flaws, and what they can still teach us about today's politics. 00:00 Introduction to the Federalist Papers 02:35 Federalist #10: Dangers of Factions 13:06 Federalist #39: Federalism - the Federal/State Divide 18:38 Federalist #51: Checks and Balances, Separation of Powers 24:28 Federalist #70: An "Energetic" and Unified Executive 32:26 Federalist #78: Independent Judiciary - -The Role of a Lifetime 38:39 Federalist #84: No Need for a Bill of Rights? 44:14 Have We Strayed From the Federalist Papers' Vision? 47:11 Closing, Show Notes, Episode 100 Next!
