this is a slow read, as many allusions are not well known to most, even well-educated, americans.  that said, the analyses were spot on for their times and somewhat disturbing for our times as well.  many of the arguments for a constitutional, strong republic union resonate today as we see the united states fracturing along similar fault lines as existed in 1787.  i guess the big difference between then and now is that then these issues were openly discussed, while now they are either ignored or passed off as semi-paranoid doom&gloom ranting.
