And it seems that we've been having the states'rights debate since the very beginning. On one hand, you had the Federalists, let by Washington and Hamilton. On the other, you had the Democratic Republicans, founded by Jefferson and Madison. They had different visions of what America should become
I'm reading Ron Chernows biography about George Washington. My brother bought it for me as a Christmas gift. It is by far the largest book I've ever read.
Something about Washington stood out to me. Whenever he assumed a new office, the first thing he did was dampen people's expectation. "I am not qualified for this office. But my country calls upon me, so I will try my best."
He didnt brag about how he was going to make America great. He didn't talk about how we're going to win, win, win. No, he gave an honest assessment of his abilities.
I thought that was interesting because it's such a contrast to Trump - and most other politicians today.

Of course, that's his "plan"! Don't believe anything he says!🙄
