1. A bigger federal government is better than a bigger state governments
o Alexander Hamilton wrote
§ "Let us see what will be the consequences of not authorizing the federal government to regulate the trade of these states. Besides the want of revenue and of power; besides the immediate risk to our independence, the dangers of all the future evils of a precarious Union; besides the deficiency of a wholesome concert and provident superintendence to advance the general prosperity of trade - the direct consequence will be that the landed interest and the laboring poor will, in the first place, fall a sacrifice to the trading interest, and the whole eventually to a bad system of policy made necessary by the want of such regulating power."
§ "Each state will be afraid to impose duties on its commerce lest the other states, not doing the same, should enjoy greater advantages than itself by being able to afford native commodities cheaper abroad and foreign commodities cheaper at home."
§ "There is something noble and magnificent in the perspective of a great federal republic…"
o The states would argue
§ The more power you have, the more power you want, until we get a second civil war
§ Strong federal Government can help solve disputes among the states
o A big federal government can help to unify us
§ After civil war, the north and south still do not like each other
§ Government can act as a unifying force
o Federalists
§ The federalists, who wanted a big national government, also wanted the Constitution
§ No big federal government, no constitution
We would probably be overthrown because of our lack of unity
