Why were balls used on the Medici coat of arms? Yes Pills, he says, date back to roughly 1500 BC--and they were presumably invented so that measured amounts of a medicinal substance could be delivered to a patient. |

The Constitution of the United States: Background material for the original, esp. the Bill of Rights? I did my best to answer the history question; the rest is politics, and as I said, politics that bores me. I just did a quick google to see if I could find anythign to stimulate my memory on history. Wikipdedia is reasonable - has links to most of the other sources. Halbrook has an article that may be up your alley. Both sources are full of modern interpretations of the Founders intent. |

The Constitution of the United States: Background material for the original, esp. the Bill of Rights? They suppressed it because it enabled them to speak freely, and because the constitutional convention was technically treason - a meeting to replace the existing government with a new, different government. Just as an example, during the convention, Hamilton advocated that we replace the Articles of Confederation with a monarchy. Can you imagine his political career if that had gotten out? |

The effects of war on the workforce Checked with my girlfriend. She pointed out one interesting observation; there was a large shift of young women into the workforce - women who otherwise might have been in college or preparing for marriage. That may affect your conclusions. |

What role did British cartoonists play in the early 1800? Do you have a reason to suspect that cartoonists played a different role in 1800 than they do today? |

Did the American Founders Debate on the Relative Size of the Government? Jefferson believed the federal government was too big, which is why he did his best to reduce it, shedding departments and responsibilities wherever he could. He was the original Minarch. Alas, I can't find any quick citations to support this. I suspect that you could find something in the records around the Philadelphia Mutiny - I recall that topic being discussed afterwards. |
