  • Summary

  • Madison’s Federalist Paper No. 39, "The Conformity of the Plan to Republican Principles," defines a true republic, explains why the proposed Constitution is a republic, and discusses how the United States is both a national and a federal government. 


    Morgan Zegers and Connor Clegg explain how a republic is a government of the people, where the citizens of the country hold the power. Throughout history, the term ‘republic’ has been skewed into either a type of oligarchy, where nobles and elites rule the country, or into a direct democracy, which is not an ideal form of government. History repeats itself, even in America. Connor calls for the need to establish national identity amongst Americans. Morgan and Connor discuss how the states are sovereign. The states created the federal government; the federal government did not create the states. 


    Join Morgan Zegers weekly on Freedom Papers for a conversation that focuses on the necessity of America's most important manuscripts and the debates surrounding them!
