Hamilton, Alexander, et al. “The Federalist.” New York Packet, 1787.
The Federalist, by Alexander Hamilton, called for the ratification of the constitution in 1787 and 1788. It explored the ideals of our forming nation, from taxation to the dysfunction between states. It was written under the alias of Publius, chosen to represent Publius Valerius Publicola, who founded the Roman Republic. These essays hounded the members of the Constitutional Convention to approve and ratify the Constitution, while at the same time dismembering the Articles of Confederation, its predecessor.

He was an early believer in a strong central government and was much of an outsider because of this. He was the main author of The Federalist from 1787-1788, and was most well known for his position in Washington’s cabinet and his signature on the Declaration of Independence, of which he was the only delegate from New York. Through his position in Washington’s cabinet, he instituted policies that strengthened public support and spoke out on topics such as Jay’s Treaty and Washington’s Proclamation of Neutrality. Though his later life, after retiring from his work in politics, he was often consulted by people of power. Similarly, in Federalists, from the Encyclopedia of the New American Nation, both sources state the importance of the ratification of the Constitution to solve the problems both created and not addressed by the Articles of Confederation. This source was written by Gerald Stourzh, an Austrian historian. Stourzh graduated from the University of Vienna, and also taught as a professor of North American history there. He mostly writes about North American history, constitutions of different governments, and human rights. Stourzh is more than qualified to write on this subject because he not only possesses a degree in the field, but also is a professor and published author within this field. This source further supports the exigence claim by showing how involved Hamilton was in the political scene and how vast his knowledge over the subject matter was.
