During the Founding (or, Formation) Period of American History, a strong central government was important for quite a few reasons. Perhaps most important was the nation's survival in the face of international (particularly, British) hostility: only a strong central government could provide the organization and planning that would empower a military force strong enough to protect the nation from conquest. It should not be overlooked, however, that domestic motivations for a strong central government also drove the Founders.
Madison and many others wanted a strong central government for several reasons. One, they realized that it would be complete chaos to have completely separate states, separate money systems for every state, separate interpretations of laws, etc. Also, he realized that if there was a strong central government, there would be checks and balances for both crazy faction groups and for failing economic systems. If one group tried to gain control of the confederacy (now the US), there would be a central government to stop them. If one state went bankrupt, that state could not pull all of its neighboring states down with it. There were some others, so I recommend reading Madison's federalist essay.
They believe in a strong central government because they didn't want to go back to the way things were with the king and later on with the AOC ( Articles of Confederation). They believed that the king was to hot/harsh.The Articles of Confederation were too cold, and they were too weak.
Because it promotes uniformity among the states.
Let me give you a little history lesson. Before the Constitution, the law of the land was the "articles of confederation." The articles put most of the power in the states, and the states squabbled amongst themselves. They wanted to create their own money, have their own banks, and tax out of state residents. This hampered commerce, and even weakened the US Militarily. The states, who had control over the militias, could choose not to send troops for a federal cause. So if Georgia was invaded, Maryland did not have to provide military aid.
The constitution, after being ratified, provided for a more strong central government in a federal system. States still have some level of autonomy (the create their own laws as long as they don't abrogate federal law or the constitution), but the states are subservient to the federal government in many important matters. For example, we all have the same currency, the US dollar. There is no Wisconsin dollar, New York dollar. We have one military (the best in the world if I might say so), instead of the Virginia militia, and the Florida militia. We can act in concert, fighting together, instead of squabbling amongst ourselves.
cheat the people out of $14 trillion an dforce the people to do whatever Washington tellls them to do.
America needs a strong central government to hold the states together, create laws to control the country, and prevent riots or rebellions.
Shay's Rebellion
The Anti-federalists or Democrats, opposed to a strong National Government.
The founding fathers established the government of the United States with the passage of the Constitution in 1789.
A weak central government
James Madison is credited with developing the Virginia Plan, along with assistance from Edmund Randolph and others. The Virginia Plan, presented at the Constitutional Convention in 1787, proposed a strong central government with a bicameral legislature and proportional representation based on population.
In general terms, it was 'Federalists' among America's leaders who pushed for the Constitutional Convention in 1787. Convinced that the young nation would not and could not survive for long without a stronger central (that is, federal) government, leaders such as George Washington and Alexander Hamilton, among many others, led the way in organizing the convention and then carrying through with a rebirth of the nation as a constitutional republic with a stronger federal government.
The federal government is not the three branches of government, as commonly mistaken. The federal government is the sharing of power between the Central Government and the State government. The constitution states clearly what powers the Government has, what power the State has, and what power is shared between the two.
Central and State governments will check each others' power. ... Federalism makes sure that power is not held only by the government but by the government and the people
Federalist Paper no. 10 was written by James Madison to get the Constitution ratified. It discussed how to control factions that harbored interests that were in contrast to the rights of others. Madison argued on behalf of a strong government that could guard against factions.
The colonists didn't want a weak central government. They sought a central government with limits on its powers They didn't want a government that would act as a dictator, as the King of England did. Many colonists believed that if they had stronger state governments, more power would be vested in them. This led to the creation of the articles of confederation. the articles of confederation had many problems, so eventually the constitution was written. The colonists finally settled on a constitution that left all powers not granted to the central government, to the States.
