  • サマリー

  • Welcome to "Making a Great America," a podcast dedicated to exploring the meticulous thought and effort that went into the design of the Constitution of the United States.

    This series is intended as a non-partisan historical review, aimed at enlightening listeners of all political persuasions about the foundational principles of our government. Our goal is to share the rich history behind the Constitution and the reasons why understanding this history is crucial for the survival of our republic.

    During the fall of 1787 and the spring of 1788, three remarkable men—John Jay, Alexander Hamilton, and James Madison—worked tirelessly to write a series of essays known as the Federalist Papers. These essays were crafted to convince the citizens of the newly independent states to ratify the Constitution, establishing a constitutional republic that balanced power and safeguarded liberties. Their efforts were instrumental in shaping the framework of the government we know today.

    In "Making a Great America," we do not argue for or against any political position.

    Instead, we aim to report history accurately, informatively, and with easy listening.

    By delving into the writings and ideas of the Founding Fathers, we provide listeners with a deeper understanding of the Constitution's origins and the profound care taken to ensure a balanced and fair government. Our episodes are designed to be engaging and accessible, making complex historical concepts easy to grasp.

    We believe that knowledge of our government and its creation is essential to its continued survival. As such, we encourage you to subscribe to our podcast and share it widely with friends, family, and colleagues. Together, let's foster a greater appreciation for the history that continues to shape our nation.

    Benjamin Franklin explained to a curious woman after the continental congress finished about what kind of government was created.

    His response: "A Republic . . . . IF you can keep it!"

    Federalist Paper #67: The Executive Department
    2024/05/19

    In Federalist Paper No. 67, Alexander Hamilton addresses concerns about the scope of executive power, particularly focusing on the President’s authority. Critics feared that the President would have the ability to unilaterally appoint officials and exercise unchecked power. Hamilton clarifies that the President’s power to fill vacancies during Senate recesses is temporary and limited, ensuring that permanent appointments are still subject to Senate approval. He also discusses the President’s role as commander-in-chief, emphasizing that military powers are checked by Congress’s control over funding and declarations of war. Hamilton argues that these checks prevent the President from becoming too powerful.

    Federalist Paper #66: Objections to the Power of the Senate as a Court of Impeachment Further Considered
    2024/05/20

    In Federalist Paper No. 66, Alexander Hamilton addresses criticisms of the Senate’s role in impeachment trials. Critics worried that the Senate would have too much power by acting as both a legislative body and a court of impeachment. Hamilton responds by pointing out that the Constitution separates the powers of impeachment, with the House responsible for accusing and the Senate responsible for trying cases. He also argues that Senators are accountable to the people, reducing the risk of bias. Hamilton reaffirms that the Senate’s involvement in impeachment trials is crucial for preventing abuses of power in government.

  • Federalist Paper #65: The Powers of the Senate (continued) — Impeachment

    Federalist Paper #65: The Powers of the Senate (continued) — Impeachment
    2024/05/21

    Federalist Paper No. 65, written by Alexander Hamilton, focuses on the Senate’s role in conducting impeachment trials. Hamilton argues that impeachment is a necessary tool for holding public officials accountable for misconduct, especially in cases that involve political offenses. The division of responsibilities—where the House accuses and the Senate tries—ensures that the process is fair and thorough. Hamilton acknowledges the risk of partisan influence in impeachment but defends the Senate’s stability and impartiality, making it the best institution to conduct such trials. Impeachment, according to Hamilton, is vital for maintaining trust in government.
