About this episode
Federalist 10 was one of the Federalist Papers, a collection of 85 essays that were published in New York to encourage ratification of the newly drafted Constitution. This essay is taught in classrooms across the country and often referred to as the most important. So what's it about? Taking us through the ideas of faction, republicanism, and Madison's inability to predict Facebook are Jeffrey Rosen , President of the National Constitution Center, Alison LaCroix , Professor of Law at the University of Chicago Law School, and our dear friend Ryan Werenka , AP Government and Politics teacher at Troy High School in Michigan.
