A Series of Concepts
Hamilton outlines six key concepts discussed in the Federalist Papers:
- The utility of the Union to prosperity
- The insufficiency of the existing confederation to preserve the Union
- The necessity of a government as powerful as that proposed, to meet this object
- The conformity of the proposed Constitution with the true principles of Republican government
- The Constitution's analogy to various state Constitutions.
- The additional security a Constitution will provide to the preservation of government in those states, and to the preservation of liberty and property.

“There is in every either-or a certain naivete which may well befit the evaluator, but ill- becomes the thinker, for whom opposites dissolve in series of transitions.”
—Robert Musil (1880–1942)
“During our twenties...we act toward the new adulthood the way sociologists tell us new waves of immigrants acted on becoming Americans: we adopt the host culture’s values in an exaggerated and rigid fashion until we can rethink them and make them our own. Our idea of what adults are and what we’re supposed to be is composed of outdated childhood concepts brought forward.”
—Roger Gould (20th century)
