Episode 14 – Jason Ford (Political Theory and Role of Government)

Summary

Jason Ford is a former Student Government President at the University of Mary Washington and graduated with a bachelors degree in political science.  

*Two updates/corrections on content in the podcast – I made a reference to there being a “couple hundred Federalist Papers and I made it through 80 something of them.” This was meant to be a couple hundred pages in the book that compiled them, not the papers themselves. There are 85 Federalist Papers.   Second one is a reference of some of the founding fathers being our age. They were more in their 20’s during the signing of the Declaration of Independence rather than the Constitution.
