Federalist II: Concerning Dangers From Foreign Force and Influence

The American Cyanide Show

In this episode, I read the second Federalist essay, written by John Jay, aptly named Federalist II. The next essays (Federalist III-V), all deal with the same subject, "dangers from foreign force and influence," and I will be going through them in the coming weeks. Here, Jay begins his argument that it is more beneficial for the country to become ONE nation under ONE federal government, as opposed to having several "independent sovereign states." In particular, he points out the hypocrisy, however diplomatically, of some of his contemporaries who were initially for a federal government, and then suddenly changed their position against it. I also found it funny, in a sad sort of way, that even back then, there were some members of the press who were against the Union. Times change, people don't. I hope you enjoy my reading of Federalist II.
