After the revolution was complete, the Americans were now faced with the challenging task of uniting Americans from unique geographic and socio-economic regions to come together and create a democratic republic style government during the time of monarchies and empires. Naturally, Americans had different opinions on the structure of the central government and its constitution, but two major factions were created: the Federalist and the Anti-Federalists. Federalists, like James Madison, Alexander Hamilton, and John Adams, believed in a strong central government and defended the United States Constitution before ratification; while Anti-Federalists, like Mercy Otis Warren, John Hancock, and Samuel Adams, wanted state governments to hold more authority and opposed the ratification of the US Constitution. Leading up to the ratification vote, both sides set out to make their argument to the American people. The two viewpoints are seen in James Madison’s Federalist Number 10 (1787) and Mercy Otis Warren’s Observations (1788).After reading both articles, Federalist Number 10 and Observations, compose a thoughtful post using the questions below. After making the initial post, students should make multiple substantial posts to students in significant ways.What is a “faction” and why does James Madison fear it? Please provide a quote to support your answer.Why does Mercy Otis Warren define the new US Constitution and its government as “aristocratic tyranny” bringing “uncontrouled despotism”? Please provide a quote to support your answer.Both articles express problems and possibilities of American politics if their side loses. Identify a problem address in one of the articles that you see in modern America.Lets assume that you do not know that the Constitution will pass and that its for of government will last over 200 years. If you were a voter in the late 1890s and read both of these arguments, would you vote to ratify the Constitution?
