Tara RossOn this day in 1787, Federalist Paper No. 15 is published. Alexander Hamilton (a.ka. ?Publius?) tells his readers something they already know: The Confederation Congress does not have enough power to be effective. He explains: ?n theory their resolutions concerning those objects are laws . . . yet in practice they are mere recommendations which the States observe or disregard at their option.?Currently, Publius notes, the states have no obligations to each other except ?good faith.? A national government cannot be effective unless it has the ?power of making laws.? The Confederation Congress has not had that power.More on Federalist 15 here: https://www.taraross.com/post/the-federalist-papers-no-15?fbclid=IwAR1qjKZCpW42qwsg3AK57vQApWTWpaany3lxC1GOE5re4CYNelArkJmSFjs
