They did so by using the document in order to build a stronger argument against the anti-federalists. They believed that having a strong central government would have a positive outcome on the commercial growth that the new country had in store for itself. While the Anti-federalists viewed the country being made up of mostly farmers, the federalists believe it should be a country filled with large varieties of different groups that had different interests and competing groups. The Federalists did emphasize that none of the groups would over power them all and that each group would represent themselves to what they believed was the best in order to be successful. Many people believe that the Federalists were more concerned with making sure that the economic and social changes were seen and dealt with rather than examining the overall transformation that America would undergo over the next couple of years.…
The Federalist papers were written in attempt to get citizens to ratify the United States Constitution in 1787, and more specifically the citizens of New York. Eighty-five essays made up the Federalist papers. When citizens were reviewing the United States Constitution the Federalists papers basically guided them through it and helped people to understand how the Constitution should be interpreted as well as where the ideas came from. In the first paper we were assigned, Federalist number 10, James Madison argued that if you wanted a satisfactory economy the Partisan democracy is not the best idea to get that.…

Although the Federalist shard many of the same ideas of the Antifederalist such as individual rights (Oaks 223). The Anti-Federalists shared different view on how the government should be ran. Because of their experiences with the tyranny of Great Britain, they feared the establishment of a strong national government. The Anti-Federalists also did not accept the use of separation of powers and checks and balances, because they feared the branches of government would abuse the power and not serve the purpose of protecting the rights and freedoms of the individuals. It was evident in the way they thought things should be ran and why they thought they where right, being that they where from a old-line of republicans and did not favor a system…

The Federalist Papers, written by Alexander Hamilton, James Madison, and John Jay, were formulated to encourage New Yorkers to ratify the Constitution.

Inderjit I liked reading you topic discussion it was good. I agree with you Obamacare is good in fixing our health care system.

That is only one of the down faults about it but I still have faith in Obamacare that it will do good for this country.…
America is not a nation that is overruled by fear and hatred. America is not weak and scared of change. America is a nation that cares about all its people, not just the people who are rich or white, but also the poor, the LGBT community, the muslims, the minorities, the women, and the disabled. America would never turn it's back on all it's people regardless of race, sex, or religion. America would never turn a blind eye on all its people who are hurting, but instead, listen to their pain and do whatever in its power to reassure them that everything will be alright.…
Samuel L. Jackson once said, “We’ve come a long way in our thinking, but also in our moral decay.” This quote holds true today as society stays rapidly changing and people become more and more desensitized to the horrors of the world. The line between right and wrong fades and turns to a larger gray area, and many things that happen in society today make us question how we, as a collective people, ended up where we are and how we acquired the customs we have today. Aldous Huxley, in his novel Brave New World, uses a great deal of satire and exaggeration to express his concerns for the society he was born into and bring attention to the problems of moral decay, drug dependency, and brainwashing, among other things, in the world.…
In the argument about the ratification of the United States Constitution, both the supporters and the opponents had substantial reasoning for their viewpoints. However, these groups differentiated greatly on what problems were most significant to their arguments. Each group came up with smaller “subgroups” of issues they had with the Constitution or Articles of Confederation. The supporting group of the Constitution was the Federalists, who believed in a strong central government that would better protect and support the new upcoming nation.…
Two of the major leaders of this group were Patrick Henry and Thomas Jefferson, who was overseas during this time. The Anti-Federalists thought that under the Articles people had the rights that they rightfully deserved. Under the Articles, the poor people benefitted greatly. During the process of trying to get the new Constitution ratified the Anti-Federalists felt that under this new government the rich had all of the power instead of the people (Doc 5). Under the Articles the states had the power to make laws and do whatever they pleased, and to some of the states the idea of changing to a government that the central government had all the power was absolutely absurd.…
