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?
- 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.
- The government should support and promote native commerce and industry through protectionist tariffs.
- The government should protect the interests of the wealthy over the poor.
- France sucks and England rocks.
- A National Bank is a necessity for American financial stability.
- The Bill of Rights is at best a necessary evil to placate our opponents, and at worst opens the door to mob rule.
- Strong central government is an absolute necessity.
- Loose constructionism of the Constitution.
- Dueling with Aaron Burr is extremely dangerous. Duel at your own risk.
