I've recently become more interested in US political history and how the constitution setup a framework within which the next 250 years have evolved. This is my conversation with Eric Alston, faculty director at CU Boulder and researcher in the Comparative Constitutions Project, who patiently explained this all to me. We talk about how constitutions organically emerge from humans coordinating in large groups, presidential vs parliamentary systems, the balance between federal and state governments, and more.

I can recommend some very good federalist papers if you haven’t read them yet.

I’ve skimmed some of the federalist papers. Any you’d recommend in particular?
