Sticking with Hamilton, we're exploring Federalist 9 and 15 today. Federalist 9 is his take on Madison's proposition that the Union guards against factions. 15 is full of Hamilton venting about how the confederacy of colonies was a tragic mess and that a strong federal government was the only way to clean it up.

The American economy added 4.8 million jobs last month.
