Federalist: Why were all of the authors (Publius as well as Brutus and Cato) anonymous? Did the newspapers know who the authors were? Why did readers give so much weight to their words?
What parts of the rough draft were omitted from the Constitution? Did the writers ever express later regret about omitting/including articles of the Constitution?
Was the common law developed concurrently or previously? Did each state have its own common law or was there new federal influence in this law as well?
This blog serves the honors section of our introductory course on American politics (Claremont McKenna College Government 20) for the fall of 2023.

About this Blog
During the semester, I shall post course material and students will comment on it. Students are also free to comment on any aspect of American politics, either current or historical. There are only two major limitations: no coarse language, and no derogatory comments about people at the Claremont Colleges. This blog is on the open Internet, so post nothing that you would not want a potential employer to see. Syllabus: http://gov20h.blogspot.com/2023/08/draft-introduction-to-american-politics.html
