• Explains the history behind the drafting of the Articles of Confederation, the Constitution, and the Federalist Papers.
• Analyzes how the Supreme Court has used and interpreted the Federalist Papers.

"It has been frequently remarked that it seems to have been reserved to the people of this country, by their conduct and example, to decide the important question, whether societies of men are really capable or not of establishing good government from reflection and choice, or whether they are forever destined to depend for their political constitutions on accident and force. If there be any truth in the remark, the crisis at which we are arrived may with propriety be regarded as the era in which that decision is to be made." (Alexander Hamilton, Federalist number one)
