The Federalist 10: Defending The Ratification Of The Constitution

Summary of Article: This article talks about how the two-party should no longer exist. The two-party system has been part of the U.S. since the late 1800s and how it has controlled politics in the U.S. The two-party winning streak has come to an end. The two-party system is equally as flawed as the major parties, Democratic Party and Republican Party, with whom share one major attribute: they both favor policies that strip citizens of different liberties. The Democratic Party is in favor of social freedom but oppose personal economic freedom, while the Republican Party is the complete opposite.

Anti-Federalist (West). Cognizant of the sensitivity of the US political situation at that time, Alexander Hamilton led the Federalist Party, initially in secrecy, to promote the ratification of a new Constitution. Together with John Jay and James Madison, under pseudonym Publius, a series of 85 essays known as "Federalist Papers" were published in The Independent Journal, The New York Packet, and The Daily Advertiser. The papers aimed to promote the merits of the Constitution. They (in particular Federalist Paper No.

Constitution; 3) Jefferson and Madison agreed through their drafted resolutions that the alien bill was a threat by the Federalists intended for foreign-born supporters of the Republican party in the sense that the alien bill was creates to suppress the Republican press and media. ; 4) philosophical-wise, both agreed that the alien bill served as the teeth of the constitution and a violation of the rights protected by the first amendment; 5) both resolutions are very influential statements; and 6) both The Kentucky and Virginia Resolutions did not earn many support from the people of the fourteen states. There was no reaction from four states while the rest of the ten states expressed outright disapproval. The difference between the Virginia and Kentucky Resolutions are: 1) Jefferson used bolder language than Madison while Madison’s are more tamed or temperate; 2) Jefferson through his Kentucky Resolutions stated that the acts of the federal government when it assumes undelegated powers are un-authoritative, void and of no force. On the other hand, Madison’s Virginia Resolutions just stated that the states were bound by its duty to interfere whenever the federal government

In the spring of 1868, America was focused on Congress to see if the President was going to be removed from office. Individuals were impeached and removed from office before, however, President Andrew Johnson was the first president to be impeached. Many have regarded Johnson as one of the worst presidents in the history of the United States because of his racism, stubbornness, disastrous Reconstruction policies, and his impeachment trial. Johnson’s impeachment would be the defining point of his presidency and his legacy. This raises the numerous questions such as why was Johnson put on trial; what made Republicans hell-bent on impeaching him; and was Andrew Johnson’s impeachment justified.

This was the first error the delegates at the Constitutional Convention hoped to fix with the Constitution. In JAmes MAdison’s Federalist Paper #51, he explains that the power the people of the nation grants its government be divided into two separate government's, meaning state and federal, to ensure a “double security” on the people’s rights. This idea was referred to as federalism (Doc A). This division of power was set up in a way that both governments had specific powers that the other had no control over, which prevented either one form gaining all power. Tyranny was further prevented by both state and central governments sharing some powers, keeping each other in

Within the agreement, Ocalan states that a representative democracy benefits the national bourgeoisie, but the general public will not receive freedom and justice through this form of government (Posch 94). Ocalan hypothesizes a new form of “collective democracy”. Within this form of government, all participants would be required to adhere to the values and ideologies of the KCK-agreement and embrace it. In addition to this, he wishes to create a large confereration within the Middle East, which will be a collective “people’s democracy” (Posch 95). The political views within the KCK-agreement draw a strong similarity to Soviet-style authoritarianism.

The federalists formed in 1791 led by Alexander Hamilton, who were mainly New England merchants. They were for a strong central government, the newly written constitution, and the national bank. During the 1970s, the Federalists’ ideologies and beliefs were against the norms of society. The Federalist eventually collapsed and never held power again after 1801. Their opposing party was the Democratic-Republican Party led by Thomas Jefferson and former Anti-Federalists.

All through the history of the United States of America, many people have discussed the abolishment of the Electoral College. For many reasons, some believe it is what makes our country have the type of government we have, some believe that it's what limits the power of the government, and many people such as Mitch McConnell believes it is what gives us our freedom and prosperity. While these are valid arguments there is a multitude of reasons to why the electoral college should be abolished. Such as there is only a need for twelve states in order to become the president, popular vote of the people for president can still lose, and the Swing states are given too much power and attention compared to that of the other states. This is why I believe in the abolishment of the Electoral College.

The Electoral College is an outdated system and should be abolished before it turns the tables of an election for the bad. This system of voting was developed in 1787 and has had a strong impact on American citizens for 230 years. The Electoral College was created to take power from over populated states and distribute it to the less populated states. It also serves a higher authority than the popular vote, which can alter the results of many elections. In the 230 years of this system being in action, 4 elections have been modified to set the victor as someone who the population did not want.

What I mean by that is if the executive branch didn’t like something that the judicial branch was doing they could off a change or a different solution. So to make a long story short these branches weren’t completely separate. Written in Federalist Paper #51 it states that “The three branches should not be so far separated as to have no constitutional control over each other.” (Doc C) I also think that when Madison said that “The different governments will each control each other, but at the same time they each will also control themselves.” (Doc
