It blows my mind that such a cartoonish and lazy essay was written by a historian. Apparently all political questions are entirely binary: we have strong central government, just like the framers wanted. The alternative is weak central government, just like the anti-federalists wanted. The end.

What we have here is a failure in graduate programs in history.
