to the people in the state of boredom

I really don't recommend this. The narration is flat, it's easy to get lost because of the language. Context is missing to help the listener understand the needed background information. you'll become more knowledgable about the Federalist papers, Hamilton and Madison by reading their wikipedia entries.
