Federalist No. 10 Main idea: Rationalizes the choosing of a republic, and then goes to outline the the necessity of factions, and their role in society. Factions are introduced in the paper, and the issues that reside around them. There is no way that all men are going to have the same interests, or same amounts of money or property. Because of this, factions are created. The largest faction will ultimately be the poor. This plays into what Madison believes, stating that if there are a ton of…

The entirety of the Federalist Papers was written on the basis of one singular goal: to ratify the constitution. However, as the Constitution was in the stages of ratification, two distinct groups, the federalists and the anti-federalists formed. One, the federalists, heavily favored the Constitution, arguing that its principles were the ideal base of forming a Country, while the anti-federalists believed that the new changes may threaten liberty.

Even though I have not finished reading “The Federalist Paper,” I still learn a lot about the foundation of American government and also about myself as a learner during the process. I know that I am more of a visual learner than an auditory learner, but I usually get bored really quickly whenever I read a long text that is full of information or does not have any pictures or graphs. So instead of reading “The Federalist Paper” in one go, I break it down into sections and then use a highlighter…

during the debate over ratification of the Constitution, I believe that I would have been an Antifederalist. The Federalists pushed for the ratification of the Constitution without a bill of rights. The Anti-Federalists, on the other hand, did not want to ratify the Constitution because it did made the government too strong and didn’t protect the rights of the people. The Anti-Federalists were anti-British and pro-French and called for a smaller government that didn’t have as much power over the…
