On Federalism

Senor dos Pesetas, 

Would you consider yourself a dyed in the wool hardcore Federalist who accepts all precepts of the Federalist party? Or, given your usual political makeup, would you call yourself a cafeteria Federalist? Do you accept or dismiss the following precepts? 

  1. The wealthy are the natural rulers of society. Therefore suffrage must be restricted to those who own substantial property. Popular votes for the Presidency are utter foolishness.
  2. The government should support and promote native commerce and industry through protectionist tariffs.
  3. The government should protect the interests of the wealthy over the poor.
  4. France sucks and England rocks.
  5. A National Bank is a necessity for American financial stability.
  6. The Bill of Rights is at best a necessary evil to placate our opponents, and at worst opens the door to mob rule.
  7. Strong central government is an absolute necessity.
  8. Loose constructionism of the Constitution.
  9. Dueling with Aaron Burr is extremely dangerous. Duel at your own risk.
