Actually the Federalist papers were written to the common man. Try reading that in original text. I bought the modern "English" translation so I could make sense of it. They were smarter an Hollywood gives them credit for.

It's simple. In their foresight in the late 19th and early 20th centuries, our forebears had the good sense to use the "X" designations.

Because they knew way back then that, in the 21st century, we'd have to explain our internet search history including "XXX Beaver" to our spouses.
that's high art
