Federalist IX: The Union as a Safeguard Against Domestic Faction and Insurrection
Manage episode 312640324 series 3239909
In Federalist 9, Alexander Hamilton continues the argument for unifying the states under one federal government, this time focusing on the advantage a unified nation would have against domestic factions and insurrections.
He extensively quotes from a French political philosopher by the name of Montesquieu, seeing as to how he, like we do today, had to deal with people taking things out of context in order to support their arguments; in this case, the "anti-federalists" relied on only portions of Montesquieu's work to support their position. Hamilton, of course, would have none of it.
