Why and how did the federalist paper define the powers and structures of the constitution?

The Federalist papers are essays that were written by Alexander Hamilton to convince the New Yorkers to back the amended constriction. It defined the power and structure of the constitution as the government from the reflection of choices. It illustrates that the government is made of the judiciary, executive and legislative branch working in a coordinated manner. It was derived during the delegate meeting in Philadelphia where the constitution was ratified.

The federal papers were essential documents during the constitution-making process. According to Rowling and Richford (14), federal papers were written by Alexander Hamilton to illustrate the importance of the new constitution. Rowling and Richford (141) stated that it was important to accept the new form of government which introduces accountability and coordination. The first federal paper was published on October 27, 1787, by the New York Independent Journal and authored Alexandria Hamilton, John Jay, and James Madison. It was to provide justification for the need of the newly drafted constitution of the United State. Since the majority of New York delegates were opposed to the newly proposed constitution the federalist paper was written to provide detail illustration to the delegates and to the general public of the importance of the new constitution CITATION Ham91 \p 21 \l 1033 (Jay, Hamilton and James 21). It is stated that the adoption of the newly proposed constitution was difficult since delegates were divided on the power and structure of the government. Through federalist papers, the majority of delegates bought in the concept of power and structure of the government proposed in the constitution.

The event occurred in Philadelphia where all the delegates converged to discuss matters of constitution and politics of the country. According to Scot (14), the federal paper's ideas were arrived at after the proposed constitution was seen by some people as a bad law. The rejection of its content made Hamilton convince James Madison and John Jay to work together convince others to join them in supporting the proposed constitution. James Madison was in charge of convincing delegates from Virginia to endorse the newly proposed United States Constitution. First, the thirteen states were convinced to back the newly proposed constitution of the United States. In the constitution the general system of the government was defined, the separation of power was clearly highlighted and how the government coordinates to achieve its core function.

The mobilization of delegates by James Madison result to massive support from the delegates from Virginia. Oak (18) pointed out that James Madison effort ensured that the majority of delegates from the State of Virginia participated in the drafting of the newly proposed constitution. The majority of the delegates played an active role and this made the changing the structure of the government easy. Jay, Madison, and Hamilton (15) also noted that after the revolutionary war, many Americans realized that the established government under the article of confederation was not working. And therefore, Americans wanted a strong government, which can maintain national unity over a large geographical area. The newly proposed constitution was believed to be the best due to the way the power and structure of the government were drafted.

The federal paper was written by believers of the constitution and the new American after the article of Confederation failed to reflect the aspiration of many Americas. As stated by Ayer (25) the idea of the constitution-making process was to establish a united country. The article “The Federalist Papers," Independent Journal “was published by the independent Journal in 2015and authored by Ayre Brian. It illustrates what happened at Philadelphia when the newly proposed constitution was passed by the delegates.

It was first published by Congress to illustrate the power and structure of the government. It highlights key fundamentals of federal and its powers and therefore, it provides detailed information needed information regarding the definition of power and structure of the government of the United States. It is, therefore; define the power and structure of the government of the United States as a united and coordinated body. It illustrates that the power of the government was spread across three branches to offer check and balances of the government. The Judiciary, Executive and Legislation have a distinct role to play and therefore, the paper reports a distinct structure to the delegates and the people of the United States through Congress CITATION Bri15 \p 14 \l 1033 (Ayre 14).

It was written after a series of liberation by the members of Congress. Therefore, the information contains to reflect the position of the delegates and the lawmakers. It represents the agreed power and structure of the government as presented by the newly proposed constitution of the United States. It is, therefore, the best source, which illustrated detailed information about the power and structure of the government. The speaker gave the green light for the publication after the deliberation and agreement had been made on the newly proposed constitution. It, therefore, made the beginning of the use of the new constitution. It is chosen because of the efficient illustration provided about the research topic. Its publication was done after series of law review and efficient consultation by the house and therefore, it contains the most accurate and efficient information, which can be used to complete a research paper, with the similar research topic.

Based on my research I found the one source to be the most accurate and reflect what is illustrated in the research topic. The source “Federal papers edited by Hamilton Madison and Jay with an introduction and published by New York Independent Journal in October 1787” is the most accurate source. It provides the correct interpretation of federalist paper and how it describes the power and structure of the government. The source also contains methods and result of the federalist papers written by Hamilton, Jay, and Madison. It is, therefore, one of the important sources with clear information regarding the federalist paper and how they offer illustration on the constitutional making process.

The selection of the source is based on the relevancy to the topic. It is evident that the source was written by a prominent personality. And therefore, the journal is based on the personal experience and therefore, it reflects the true picture of what transpired during the discussion and exacted of the newly proposed constitution of the United States. It was also published by a renowned journal, the New York Independent Journal and therefore, it reflects the true picture of what happened. The research focuses on the role of federalists in the realization of the new constitution, which change the power and structure of the government. It is important because the definition of the power and structure of the government was illustrated by the federal papers. The discussion of the constitution-making process was essential because it was the genesis of every aspect of power and structure of government. The federal paper was written to provide an explanation on the new changes in the constitution and therefore, it provides a better definition.
