Bibliography
n.d.
Alexander Hamilton, James Madison, John Jay. The Federalist Papers. Ed. Random House. New York City: Random House, 1787-1788.

"State governments should be able to command the means of supplying their wants as that the national government should possess the like facility." State governments should have the right to free trade, which supplies their wants/ needs.

Donal R. Moorman, Gene A. Sessions. Camp Floyd and the Mormons: The Utah War. Ed. The University of Utah Press. Glen Canyon : The University of Utah Press, 1992.

The South’s leadership was badly split over the question of Utah Statehood. The theory of popular sovereignty was something many southerners believed should be applied to polygamy, and plural marriage itself should be left to the people’s choice - the Mormons lead states’ rights. This shows the paradox of Utah, today, focusing strongly on little federal influence, but also encouraging such federal involvements which benefit the state.

Klinkner, Phillip. The Unsteady March: The Rise and Decline of Racial Equality in America. Ed. The University of Chicago Press. Chicago: The University of Chicago Press, 1999.

John Adams was opposed to the idea of central government. Whether used to promote racial equality, or as "big government" devices to make "big business" serve the public good. He followed nostalgia for Jeffersonian traditions of minimalist central government and maximum state governments.

Solberg, Winton. The Constitutional Convention and the Formation of the Union. Ed. The Bobbs-Merrill Company. The Bobbs-Merrill Company, 1958.

Without state governments, there was an eminent fear of outlandish taxation, a lack of Bill of Rights, and the fear of inadequate representation.

Storing, Herbert. The Anti-Federalist. Ed. The University of Chicago Press. Chicago: The University of Chicago Press, n.d.

State governments are the basis of federal government. "They are the neck upon which

    The author wrote the book from a more social point of view, focusing on the relationships between the founding fathers and how these relationships affected the forming of our nation. Ellis is sympathetic for how Burr and Adams are often victims of the political maneuvering and gamesmanship done by Hamilton and Jefferson. Ellis used letters from letters between Jefferson and Adams, historic books, letters between the founding fathers, newspaper articles, and historical documents to base his argument; his sources are not one sided and show multiple…

    Hamilton is considered one of the most influential interpreters and advocates of the Constitution. He was one of the common writers of the Federalist papers, writing 51 out of the 85 papers. The Federalist papers were propaganda published in journals or newspapers, and their purpose was to educate citizens on why the Constitution should be ratified. They were always published under the pseudonym Publius to preserve their names from the public. In Federalist #23, Hamilton writes of how the Constitution must be energetic in order to have an energetic government. An energetic government would be one that is effective and powerful in their actions. In order to create and preserve an energetic government and protect and limit the citizens individual liberty, the fundamental purposes of the Union are the common defense of the members, the preservation of public peace and external attacks, and the regulation of commerce between the states and other nations.…

    During the Revolutionary- Federalist Era, politics, parties, programs, policies, and people made an enormous difference in how the new nation should be structured and run. During this era, two men in particular championed politics and their respective parties. These two men were Alexander Hamilton, a Federalist, and Thomas Jefferson, a Democratic-Republican. Both Hamilton and Jefferson were successful college educated intellectuals and politicians who made significant contributions to the development of the United States policies and programs. However Hamilton, despite never being elected President, had more influence over the development of the United States’ policies and programs during the Revolutionary-Federalist Era. Historically Hamilton and Jefferson are known for agreeing to disagree over just about every policy being discussed during the establishment of government structure, and decorum. And it is Hamilton’s policies on economics, government structure, and constitution interpretation, which took precedent over Jefferson’s.…

    A written constitution is just a contract a pact between the government and its citizens isn’t? Contracts must be explicit, clear, and concise as to ensure all interested parties' rights and requests are reflected accurately. The Constitution should be treated in the same way.

    The role of the institution has grown tremendously over the centuries ever since the founders of the United States desired a Federal Government with limited powers whose aim was primarily concerned with promoting the civil liberty of the Americans. According to Savage (2008), during the reign of George Washington, the federal bureaucracy had only three cabinet departments; however, the federal government has since grown not only to more than eight cabinet departments, but also with other numerous bureaus, agencies, government authorities, administrations, and corporations. Between the periods of independence and the civil war, the federal government performed limited duties with regards to the daily lives of the American people. During these early decades of our nationhood, the state, and local governments were known to exercise more autonomy and were more prominent in the daily lives of American people than they are today. The decline in the autonomy and prominence of the state and local government has been due to the progressive and rapid expansion of the federal government over the centuries. The expansion of the Federal Government is particularly clearly in the events surrounding the ‘Civil war, Reconstruction, the Progressive Era, the Great Depression, and the Civil Rights era’. As this paper will demonstrate, the expansion of the Federal Authority was unprecedented but has been continuously prompted by the increasing need to guarantee economic and social welfare apart from promoting civil liberty of the citizens.…
