What were they thinking? This question stems from people wondering what our founders thought about issues that arise today. James Madison was the only person authorized to take notes at the Constitutional Convention of 1787. He wrote down what every speaker said on every subject on every day. Stew will look at the Electoral College and go through all the comments on it as an illustration of the daily dialogue. He will also examine some lessons from the Iroquois Confederacy. This confederacy of five (later six) nations had an interesting democratic form of government under their Great Immutable Law. Stew will also describe that for us.
