Write a web Letter!

  • Poway, Calif.

    Wow! This was a great essay and review. Robin Einhorn nailed the point that the Founders had multiple motivations, some good, some bad and some just trying to make their way to a form of government that would be helpful in building a nation. This was one of the best short essays I've ever read on the subject.
