Untitled Worksheet
Analysis of Federalist Support for the Constitution
Source A: Federalist Paper No. 10
"The great object of republican government is to prevent any one faction from gaining too much power. A large republic will better guard against tyranny of the majority and protect individual rights. The Constitution establishes a system of checks and balances, ensuring no single group can dominate." Provenance: James Madison, 1787, Federalist Paper published in The New York Packet.
