Try reading The Federalist Papers for insight into the Constitution.
The Federalist Papers are interesting, but only letters to the editior with the opinions of the writers. The amendments are law.
Your an idiot. They were made and published so the American people could see the discussion.
They were letters to the editior by three authors, under assumed names. They were a form of propaganda to convince people that the Constituton should be ratified. Perhaps the letters have more impact today than during the ratification fight. They are interesting because of the authors views and as history but have no legal force. Perhaps the "Pennsylvania Packet" had as much impact in that it helped lead to the Bill of Rights.
