James Madison wrote these words in The Federalist No. 51, published February 6, 1788, while New York debated whether to ratify the new Constitution. 📜

Writing under the pen name “Publius” with Alexander Hamilton and John Jay, Madison argued that because people are not angels, government needs checks and balances, with each branch able to resist the others.

Known as the Father of the Constitution, Madison later served as the fourth President. 🇺🇸

🇺🇸 Next Tuesday on Constitutional Chats! 🎙️📜 Free Groceries? What Would a Government-Run Grocery Store Really Look Like?

What would happen if the government ran grocery stores and set prices — or even promised free food? Special guest Emma Camp joins us to explore how government-run grocery stores might work, from pricing and supply chains to taxpayer subsidies and incentives.

Who would decide what's on the shelves, how much food costs, and who gets access to it? And if groceries were free at checkout, who would ultimately pay the bill? 🤔

John Adams wrote these words in 1765, in A Dissertation on the Canon and the Feudal Law, an essay printed in the Boston Gazette during the Stamp Act crisis. 📜

Then a 29-year-old Massachusetts lawyer, Adams argued that a free people must be an educated people, and that knowledge was their right.

He went on to help draft the Declaration of Independence and became the second President. 🇺🇸

📜🇺🇸 October 13, 1775: The Continental Congress Votes to Create a Navy

Meeting in Philadelphia, the Continental Congress voted to fit out two armed sailing vessels for a three-month cruise to intercept ships carrying mu*****ns and supplies to the British army. The first vessel was specified to carry ten carriage guns and eighty men. John Adams of Massachusetts was the leading voice for a navy in Congress.

That same day, Congress appointed a three-member committee to estimate costs and arrange the ships’ outfitting. Over the course of the Revolution, the Continental Navy sent more than fifty armed vessels to sea.

The Continental Navy was disbanded after the war. In 1794, President George Washington signed an act to build six frigates, reestablishing the United States Navy. The Navy celebrates October 13 as its birthday, and this year marks its 251st.
