We The People Or How to Form a More Perfect Union

Federalists were supporters of the Constitution They wanted to create a federal system

Antifederalists were opponents of the Constitution They were not against federalism But they wanted the power of the states to be supreme

Federalism is a system of government where power is shared between a federal government and state governments

Antifederalists believed the new Constitution should have included a bill of rights To protect individual rights against a powerful government

The Federalists were better organized than the Antifederalists Most of the nation’s newspapers supported them

The Federalists’ arguments for ratification were summarized in the Federalist Papers The Federalist Papers: a collection of 85 essays written by James Madison, Alexander Hamilton, and John Jay

The Constitution begins with the Preamble “We the People…”

Then follows the main body of the document: which consists of seven major parts known as articles

Added to the Constitution were 10 amendments, known as the Bill of Rights To protect the rights of the people

The Framers of the Constitution wanted to improve upon the Articles of Confederation of 1781 which created a loose association of states Therefore, they gave authority to the people of the entire nation – thus “We the People…”

The Constitution gives the powers of government to three separate groups, or branches: the legislative branch, the executive branch, and the judicial branch This is known as the principle of separation of powers

In this Federalist Paper, James Madison explains and defends the checks and balances system in the Constitution Each branch of government is framed so that its power checks the power of the other two branches

Additionally, each branch of government is dependent on the people, who are the source of legitimate authority

Madison’s political theory as expressed in this Federalist Paper demonstrated the influence of Montesquieu’s Enlightenment idea

To separate power is to divide power

It is to prevent one branch from being all- powerful

A tyrant can only exist when power is united in one person By dividing power, tyranny is ended
