This is the eighth podcast in a series on The Federalist Papers, with Dr. Thomas Krannawitter as your guide through the text. This podcast focuses on the curious argument regarding slavery, in the context of a discussion of the House of Representatives, found in Federalist #54.

Dr. Krannawitter has taught undergraduate and graduate seminars on The Federalist Papers at Claremont McKenna College, Hillsdale College, Ashland University, and George Mason University, among other places. It’s one of his favorite topics. We hope it becomes one of yours, too.
