The Federalist Project

Hello Guardians!

It's been a year and a half since I started this blog and well....obviously I haven't done a very good job at keeping it up. It was recently brought to my attention that I need to refocus on the reason I am passionate about my country and work on my blog again! To launch this I've started what I'm calling the Federalist Project. After the Constitution was signed on September 17, 1787 there were massive debates among the 13 states about whether or not to ratify the constitution. Two political parties ended up being the main voices for or against the Constitution. They were the Federalists and the Anti-federalists respectively. In response to many lingering questions and doubts regarding the Constitution, Federalists James Madison, John Jay, and Alexander Hamilton wrote 85 articles published in newspapers around the country to teach and convince people of the importance and value of establishing the Constitution as the supreme law of the land. This was largely beneficial in adopting the Constitution which was ratified in 1788.

In order to remind Americans today that the Constitution of the United States is not an outdated document I will be rewriting some of the most influential Federalist Papers in modern language. That is the Federalist Project. I will post the modernized article in the blog post itself along with a link to the original Federalist Paper. The link for all of the Federalist Papers is below:

I hope this project will help reinstate the Constitution of America as the supreme law of the land in the hearts of all Americans, but especially in the hearts of this generation. We can and need to start the path to preserving the America we want to live our lives in and pass down to our generations. Be inspired and pass on the message!

We are the Guardians!

The Federalist Project: Modern Federalist #48

To the People of the United States of America, The check and balance system established in the Constitution of the United States is one of the strongest guards against corruption in the government that imperfect people and imperfect government systems can live by. Under the Constitution the three legislative bodies have separate responsibilities but they are balanced by each other. The executive is in charge of matters that require instant decision making. For example, while he cannot declare war, the president is in charge of making decisions regarding where to send troops and other decisions of that nature. He deals with emergency responses. The legislative power makes laws and organizes institutions such as the postal service or the national mint. The judicial power observes and determines the constitutionalism of the laws the legislative branch enacts. Each branch has a very distinct set of powers. However, each branch is checked and balanced by another. Why is it necess...

Yesterday I watched American Sniper. It was one of the most gut-wrenching, eye-opening, tear-jerking movies I have ever seen. As someone who watches the news frequently I had semi-followed the trial regarding Chris Kyle and heard the powerful words of his wife Taya. My heart went out to this family who had seen their father narrowly survive four tours in Iraq only to have his life taken by a fellow veteran in the states. The movie ended and I sat there in awe; unable to say a word. My respect for the military, for what they go through, and their dedication to defending freedom greatly increased. I have always loved our military. Memorial Day, Veterans Day, D-Day, etc have always been days to remember those who have fallen and those who serve. I never could have imagined the pain and suffering these soldiers see. Our military sacrifices more than their lives for the cause of freedom. Every soldier who goes overseas makes sacrifices. That could be sacrifices of comfort and ...
