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.

Famous quotes containing the words series and/or concepts:
“Rosalynn said, “Jimmy, if we could only get Prime Minister Begin and President Sadat up here on this mountain for a few days, I believe they might consider how they could prevent another war between their countries.” That gave me the idea, and a few weeks later, I invited both men to join me for a series of private talks. In September 1978, they both came to Camp David.”
—Jimmy Carter (James Earl Carter, Jr.)
“It is impossible to dissociate language from science or science from language, because every natural science always involves three things: the sequence of phenomena on which the science is based; the abstract concepts which call these phenomena to mind; and the words in which the concepts are expressed. To call forth a concept, a word is needed; to portray a phenomenon, a concept is needed. All three mirror one and the same reality.”
—Antoine Lavoisier (1743–1794)
