The Constitutional Convention, which produced the US Constitution, did create a strong central government, particularly compared to the government under the Articles of Confederation. The convention was held in Philadelphia, PA.
No. The US Constitution created the framework for a strong central government; the Federalist Papers simply tried to sell the States on ratifying the Constitution, so the new government could be put into effect.
Yes, most of the delegates at the Constitutional Convention argued for a strong federal government. The convention was held from May 25 to September 17, 1787.
No. They didn't... In fact: They wrote their own constitution. They were the southern states during the civil war. They didn't have a strong central government.
The Federalist Papers argued that the new Constitution would create a strong national government, which was needed, but it would also protect the minorities and factions. The new government would also, in the development of federalism, protect the citizen from a too powerful national government. The papers also tried to explain how each branch of the national government would function.
To try to create a stronger central government
Alexander Hamilton, James Madison and John Jay published The Federalist Papers under the name of Publius.The essays originally appeared in three New York newspapers, the Independent Journal, the New York Packet, and the Daily Advertiser, in 1787 and 1788 and were intended to convince the States (particularly New York) to ratify the new Constitution in order to replace the old government organized under the Articles of Confederation.In total, the Federalist Papers consist of 85 essays outlining how the proposed Republican form of government would operate and why it was the best choice for the individual States and for the United States of America as a whole. Many states remained skeptical because the Constitution deprived them of certain rights they had as individual states in exchange for the benefits of forming a united body.The Federalist papers were largely successful, but the Framers also had to promise the states they would create a Bill of Rights to protect both them and their citizens from abuses at the hands of the federal government.James Madison 28 papers: 10, 14, 37-58 and 62-63Alexander Hamilton 52 papers: 1, 6-9, 11-13, 15-36, 59-61, and 65-85John Jay 2-5 (Foreign Affairs) and 64 (on the Senate)The identify of the authors of some essays is in dispute, but the (current) general consensus is that Alexander Hamilton wrote 52, James Madison wrote 28, and John Jay contributed the remaining five.The Federalist Papers remain today as an excellent reference for anyone who wants to understand the U.S. Constitution. They should be contrasted with essays written by the Anti-Federalists, who warned of the dangers inherent in the new government, and whose authorship is less clear.
To strengthen the national government
The main contribution that the Federalists did to convince the delegates was to create the Federalist Papers, which were documents supporting the approval of the Constitution. Hope this helps. ;)
