However? The Framers in the Federalists/Anti-Federalists were giving US a handbook as to their intent.Take it line by line. First you take Constitutional law and then you interpret it. You don't take an essay in the Federalist papers and try to turn it into Constitutional law.
YES it is that simple.
To put it in technical terms, the "handbook" and the Federalist Papers ain't freaking law. The Constitution is the law of the land. If the Framers in their wisdom wanted to include Federalist 46 in the Constitution we would be discussing it but since they didn't it's a moot point.
The Federalist Papers were specific to give We the People the intent of the Constitution itself. It was a comprehensive explanation to get the People and the States to Ratify the Constitution of the United States.
