The Federalist Papers were the original group chat that built America. Before we were a country, we were 13 broke colonies arguing in taverns, street corners and in state governments, about whether freedom could survive. I’m breaking down each paper starting with Federalist No. 1 written by Alexander Hamilton and giving the modern day version for people who don’t have time to read 18th century essays. Because freedom doesn’t mean much if you don’t understand what it was built to protect. 🇺🇸 🎥
