  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.
