Hamilton's classical education is particularly offensive to David. Perhaps he understands it as elitist. Is it possible, however, that only a classically-educated society can share the conceits of the Federalist Papers and sustain a Constitutional Republic?
Thanks for your comment. My objections (I think) were more stylistic than substantive. If only a classically-educated populace can vibe with the constitution, though, I think we are well and truly sunk. Then again, we're only on Federalist 6. My mind may be changed yet :)
