To the people of the United States
Under the pseudonym Nestor, the writer addresses the people of the United States ahead of the upcoming Constitutional Convention. He outlines four main problems with the country’s current form of government and suggests changes and a new form of government to fix them. In particular, he suggests two houses of congress, an executive branch, and the federal government minting money. Nestor also desires the founding of a university to train men in all matters of politics and government.
