The Founding
James Madison's 260th! Short people power!
A selection from my favorite Federalist paper, #14:
Hearken not to the unnatural voice which tells you that the people of America, knit together as they are by so many cords of affection, can no longer live together as members of the same family; can no longer continue the mutual guardians of their mutual happiness; can no longer be fellow-citizens of one great, respectable, and flourishing empire.
True, Madison was wise.
