"A popular Government, without popular information, or the means of acquiring it, is but a Prologue to a Farce or a Tragedy; or perhaps both. Knowledge will forever govern ignorance: And a people who mean to be their own Governors, must arm themselves with the power which knowledge gives."
James Madison Letter to W. T. Barry, on education, August 4, 1822 (National Archives)
"A rule of law contained in the Constitution prevails over any act, policy, or practice of government inconsistent with that Constitutional rule. But who properly has the power to interpret and apply the Constitution? The text of the Constitution simply does not say."
Paulsen, Calabresi, McConnell and Bray, "The Constitution of the United States"

Our Republic as the Constitutional Convention Defined It, James Madison Federalist No. 39, The Conformity of the Plan to Republican Principles:
1. A republic is defined as “a government that derives all its powers directly or indirectly from the great body of the people.”
2. Republican government must be "derived from the great body of our society, not from either an inappropriate or favored class of people." (Alexander Hamilton’s ideal: the “merchant class.”)
3. Persons administering Republican government must be appointed either directly or indirectly by the people; and serve for limited terms.
4. A Republic reflects the constitutions of every State in the Union. Highest offices, like the President, and members of Congress serve for limited terms.
5. Comparing our Constitution with these standards, the great body of the people elects the House of Representatives immediately. The Senate derives its appointment indirectly from the people.
6. The most decisive proof of a republican “system is the absolute prohibition of titles of nobilityunder both federal and the State governments, and express guaranty of a republican form” for each of them.
7. The FEDERAL UNION is a CONFEDERACY of Sovereign States NOT a NATIONAL CONSOLIDATION of those States.
Definitions of FRAUD, an intentional (when one knows the truth) or reckless (without justified belief in the truth) concealment or misrepresentation of material fact made to induce another to act to his or her detriment...
"An intentional perversion of truth for the purpose of inducing another in reliance upon it to part with some valuable thing belonging to him or to surrender a legal right; a false representation of a matter of fact, whether by words or by conduct, by false or misleading allegations, or by concealment of that which should have been disclosed, which deceives and is intended to deceive another so that he shall act upon it to his legal injury." [Brainerd Dispatch Newspaper Co. v. Crow Wing County, 196 Minn. 194, 264 N.W. 779, 780.]
"Any kind of artifice employed by one person to deceive another." [Goldstein v. Equitable Life Assur. Soc. of U. S., 160 Misc. 364, 289 N.Y.S. 1064, 1067.]
"A generic term, embracing all multifarious means which human ingenuity can devise, and which are resorted to by one individual to get advantage over another by false suggestions or by suppression of truth, and includes all surprise, trick, cunning, dissembling, and any unfair way by which another is cheated." [Johnson v. McDonald, 170 Okl117, 39 P.2d 150.]
""Bad faith" and "fraud" are synonymous, and also synonyms of dishonesty, infidelity, faithlessness, perfidy, unfairness, etc." [Joiner V. Joiner, Tex.Civ.App., 87 S.W. 2d 903, 914, 915.]

About this Series: Founders and T.E.A.M. Courses are not legal courses or prepared by lawyers or those schooled in Constitutional law; they are about our Constitution's System of Government and Finance, a topic of many Federalist Papers, but not with members of Congress. The meaning of "systems" is not constrained to technology as The Federalist Papers plainly state 136 times the word is used. Sources and authorities are in the Series of Courses. The Federalist Papers permit us to construct our country's founders' and Constitutional framers' view and thinking regarding the Constitution based on the Papers' "structure or internal logic."
About The Federalist Papers: 85 Federalist essays were written in 1787/8 by Alexander Hamilton (1st Treasury Secretary and founder of the 1st Bank of the U.S.); James Madison (one of 1st U.S. Representatives from VA, 4th U.S. President, father of the Constitution); and John Jay (1st Supreme Court Chief Justice and Governor of New York). This is a course about Federalist Papers in regard to the System of Government and Finance they created; not a legal course, nor is it prepared by anyone in the legal profession. Our Country is like a giant Fortune 500 company; that experience is reflected here.
The Constitution Power Series of Courses incorporate five "system of government" themes from The Federalist Papers: 1. The "System of Finance: Revenue and Taxation to protect and prosper us; 2. Popular Sovereignty and the Federal Republic; 3.Our Agency and Trust of limited Federal enumerated Powers; The System of Government and Finance: 4. Separation of Powers by permanent Vesting Clauses and 5. Legislative Balances and Checks of the guaranteed System.
