Federalist No. 67

In Federalist No. 67 Hamilton is clearly upset at those who oppose the proposed Constitution because of their outrageous misrepresentation of the content of the Constitution in relation to the office of President. As I read the example of misrepresentation that he recounted I recognized the same spirit of selective fact presentation that is altogether too common among activists of all stripes in our nation today. In some ways we really have not changed that much in the last two centuries.
