The Lost Chapters: House of Reps

July 05, 2011   On Today's Program Original Argument: The Lost Chapters. Translated by Joshua Charles   Glenn couldn't fit all the Federalist Paper translations into his #1 Bestselling book The Original Argument -- all this week you'll be getting the Lost Chapters. Today's is on the House of Representatives. Here's a sample:   In considering the periods of service for Federal Representatives, there are other perhaps less important considerations, but ones which we should think about nonetheless. The distance which many of the Representatives will be required to travel (along with the travel arrangements they'll have to make) could've been a much more serious objection among those who would be fit for this service if the period of service was limited to a single year, rather than extended to two years. The situation of the current representatives in the present congress will not provide any arguments related to this subject. While it is true that they are elected annually, their respective legislative assemblies consider their re-election as almost inevitable. The election of the Representatives by the People will not be governed by the same principle.   As happens in all such assemblies, a few Representatives will possess superior talent, will become long standing members of Congress after frequent re-elections, and will likely become very thorough masters of the public business, and thus perhaps not unwilling to avail themselves of these advantages. The greater the number of new Representatives, and the less information which is available to the bulk of them, then the more likely they will be to fall into the traps which have been laid for them. This remark is just as applicable to the relationship which will exist between the House of Representatives and the Senate.   Get the FULL TRANSLATION HERE.   WATCH: Glenn met with the co-author of The Original Argument, Joshua Charles, to explore the biggest thing people need to take away from the new book.
