Exploring Vulnerabilities of Ancient Greece - [Freedom Papers Ep. 21]

In Federalist Paper No. 18, Madison and Hamilton came together to dissect the collapse of ancient Greece to find the vulnerabilities within a republic structure and then address how to avoid those in the future. Morgan Zegers and co-host Connor Clegg continue the conversation about the failures of the Articles of Confederation to protect and support a strong republic in the long term.

Specifically, this week's show discusses how Athens' limited size hindered its ability to unify power throughout the country. As a result, Greece's larger, more powerful leagues could tyrannize the smaller, weaker leagues within their already fragile union. This authoritarian power was left unchecked by societal order, creating inner fractures that Rome viewed as an opportunity to seize power and conquer Greece.

Join Morgan Zegers weekly on Freedom Papers for a conversation that focuses on the necessity of America's most important manuscripts and the debates surrounding them!
