Dr. Arnn explained that the Federalist Papers consist of 85 newspaper articles published in New York in 1787-88, written by Hamilton, Madison, and Jay to persuade citizens how to vote on ratification.

For the final segment, Arnn is asked what the most important thing is to leave the audience with before the 250th celebration. His answer is both festive and rigorous: celebrate — Hillsdale is throwing a community picnic with hundreds of people, hot dogs, and hamburgers (invented, he jokes, by the Founding Fathers as the national food, and they were not vegan). But also read. Read the Declaration of Independence aloud. Then read the first two pages of Lincoln's July 10, 1858 Chicago speech with the 'electric cord' passage. Understand that the final cause of the country is the protection of inalienable rights and the form is the Constitution, and then go deeper — read the Federalist Papers, take Hillsdale's free online course. Arnn closes with a personal story about Charlie Kirk: how Kirk called him one day to say he was writing a book telling people not to go to college (exempting Hillsdale), and how at a recent Claremont Institute board call, editor Charles Kessler noted that one of the best students Claremont ever had was Charlie Kirk, who doesn't have a college degree. It's a warm, personal landing for an episode about the potential of the American founding to produce extraordinary citizens from ordinary beginnings.
Dr. Arnn's prescription for every American: read the Declaration of Independence, the Constitution, and all 85 Federalist Papers — with a free Hillsdale online course available on the latter.
