You really have to be dense? How can you claim to be an originalist if you don’t even know the articles of confederation or the federalist papers? Hey guys let’s do algebra, we just can’t use numbers or variables. You can’t claim to be an originalist if you don’t even know the beliefs of the founding fathers. You can’t know the intent of the founding fathers without understanding why the articles of confederation were drafted and why the federalist papers were written. You believe sitting and staring at a constitutions words gives you insight to its intent?
Cite where they support you. If you think they are relevant - I guess you are not an originalist.
The original concept of America was the articles of confederation which was direct federalism. Sooo which one is the originalist view?
Wait, you think 'originalism' means interpreting the document that was replaced by the Constitution?
That's almost as idiotic as the leftists who think that originalism means that you ignore amendments to the Constitutiion.

What does 'knowing' the documents have to do with basing interpretations of another document based on the one that it abrogated?
That is not what originalism is, dummy. Originalism refers to the original public meaning of the documents, not the thoughts in their heads.
