Do the federalist papers preserve individual liberty?
Individual liberty is preserved through individual diligence. Though words can advocate liberty, or proclaim absolute rights, it is only through action that government is kept small so that individual liberty can be maximized. The Federalist Papers advocated ratification of the Constitution by arguing what the Constitution was and was not. The two factions at the time were the Federalists and the Anti-Federalists. The Federalists were those who supported the Constitution and were generally the wealthy, merchants, and those for whom a powerful centralized government was more important than individual liberty. The Anti-Federalists, on the other hand, led by Patrick Henry, were generally small farmers, business owners, and the working class who believed government was a necessary evil best kept small and local. They saw the newly proposed Constitution as a threat to both individual liberty and States' rights. The Federalist Papers were a collection of letters written by Alexander Hamilton, James Madison, and John Jay, all signed "Publius", designed to persuade New Yorkers to support the ratification of the new U.S. Constitution. The compromise that was made to get the Anti-Federalists to ratify the Constitution was the agreement to create a "Bill of rights" whereby specific individual rights would be outlined, and further restrictions would be placed on the Federal Government, such as the 9th and 10th Amendments which deny Federal authority for any power not specifically enumerated in the Constitution. (Which is why 90% of the Federal Government today can be accurately described as Unconstitutional) (www.PatriotMusic.com)
