🧵James Madison Was Wrong About Factions

It took 249 years, but Madison's "multiplicity of factions" is failing

When I taught American Politics to undergrads, I always loved the early weeks. There I was—fresh-faced, excited to nerd out—walking into a classroom of mostly tuned out 18- and 19-year-olds and saying, “Folks, you think the United States Constitution has always been here? Nope.”

@JonMarkHicks It was basically a slimmed down version of Rolemaster, which as best as I could tell was "it you can do it, we have a multi-level mechanic for it".
