A Series of Concepts

Hamilton outlines six key concepts discussed in the Federalist Papers:

  1. The utility of the Union to prosperity
  2. The insufficiency of the existing confederation to preserve the Union
  3. The necessity of a government as powerful as that proposed, to meet this object
  4. The conformity of the proposed Constitution with the true principles of Republican government
  5. The Constitution's analogy to various state Constitutions.
  6. The additional security a Constitution will provide to the preservation of government in those states, and to the preservation of liberty and property.

Famous quotes containing the words series and/or concepts:

    “Every Age has its own peculiar faith.... Any attempt to translate into facts the mission of one Age with the machinery of another, can only end in an indefinite series of abortive efforts. Defeated by the utter want of proportion between the means and the end, such attempts might produce martyrs, but never lead to victory.”
    —Giuseppe Mazzini (1805–1872)

    “When you have broken the reality into concepts you never can reconstruct it in its wholeness.”
    —William James (1842–1910)
