How would a strong national government help to allow the constitution change?
Your question is far to vague. You need to explain what government and what constitution. How the people would react. hat you mean by strong.
What do you mean by republic?
A republic is a government where the people have elected or nominated a president. The people as well as the president have power together.
People opposed to a strong national government?
The anti-federalists were the opponents of ratifying the U.S. Constitution, because it would create a strong central government. Some of the noted anti-federalists were Patrick Henry, George Clinton and James Monroe.
What does federalism mean in the constitution?
All this means us power is shared between the central (national) government and the states.
Is the United States a representative republic?
Technically, no. By definition, all republics are representative in some form, since "republic" means "rule by elected officials", and elected officials are representative of the people who elected them. To use the term "representative republic" is just redundant. While it was used in the past by at least one of the founding fathers of the United States of America, it actually doesn't mean any more than just saying "republic". However, there are many countries that call themselves republics that are actually run by military dictatorships or religious leaders, and do not really have representative government, so the term "representative republic" could be used to emphasize countries that are truly representative.
