Federalist paper #10 The federalist paper #10 is an essay that was written by James Madison and the tenth of The Federalist Papers. It consisted of a series arguing for the ratification of the United States Constitution. In Federalist paper 10 Madison argues that if an extended republic was set up including a multiplicity of economic, geographic, social, religious, and sectional interests, these interests, by checking each other, would prevent American society from being divided into the clashing armies of the rich and the poor. Thus, if no interstate proletariat could become organized on purely economic lines, the property of the rich would be safe even though the mass of the people held political power. His solution for the class struggle was not to set up an absolute and irresponsible state to regiment society from above; he was never willing to sacrifice liberty to gain security. He wished to multiply the deposits of political power in the state itself sufficiently to break down the sole dualism of rich and poor and thus to guarantee both liberty and security.
He also stated in the pages of Federalist 10 that the size of United States and its variety of interests could be made a guarantee of stability and justice under the new constitution. Madison was a federalist who believed in one-party system and organizer in opposition the democratic Republican Party. The impact of federalist paper # 10 is that it promoted the ratification of the United States Constitution. Which is very important as it popularized the idea of federation. This can be seen by the explanation offered in having strong central government rather than being just a league of states with each states being sovereign. His effectiveness as an advocate of a new constitution, and of the particular constitution that was drawn up in Philadelphia in 1787, was certainly based in a large part on his personal experience in public
