In November 1787, Number 10 in a series called the "Federalist Papers" was written in support of the Constitution. James Madison describes the way federalism will overcome disagreements within society:
"A landed interest, a manufacturing interest, a mercantile [trading] interest, a money interest, with many lesser interests, grow up of necessity in civilized nations, and divides into different classes, moved by different views. The regulation of these interests is the principal task of modern government.
The federal Constitution forms a happy combination; the great interests, being referred to the national [central] government, and the local interests to the state governments. The influence of local leaders may start a flame within their own states, but will be unable to spread through the other states"
Questions:
1. In your own words, what was the problem facing the government?
2. How does Madison think federalism will prevent disagreements?
3. Do you agree or disagree with Madison, and why?

2.Federalism will prevent disagreements because the probems will stay in the state and not spread.
3.I agree because he wanted good things for everyone and thought that the Constitution had interest for everyone.
P.6 Michael B. & Stephanie C.

2. He thinks everybody's interests will be resolved with the ratification of the Constituion.
3. I don't agree because the Constition cant fix every problem in the country.
P:6 Cynthia G.
1) The problem that the government was facing with was that all the interests were to be organized so the that meant that the states would only take charge of the local interests while the central government took hold of the greater interests.
2)the government should organize the interests into various sections.
3)I agree with Madison because everyone should be assigned their own level of interests.

P.6 Jasmin H. Partner Absent
1.The problem that James Madison thought the Government faced were INTERESTS. He thought that people were involved in their personal life more than the whole United States itself.
2. He thinks that by leaving personal interests within the states, if it starts a problem it will stay within the state and not spread any further.
3. I guess I agree because there are no bad ideas just bad concepts. I guess he did have a point in some way.
p.6 Micahel N. , Stephanny S. The pronlems facing the government are that the interests are different and are divided and they were thinking of farming back then and they are thinking of home owners. Madison thinks federalism will prevent these disagreements because it is a combination of all the interests and not of one specific interest. so everyone will be satisfied. We agree with Madison because everybody has to have there intersests not just one single state.

the problem that the government was facing is in their intrest and there property.
federalism prevents the states from having to much power.
we agree with madison because that will solve many disagreements between states.
Per 2 Juan C. and Ricardo T.
1: The problem was ''landed interest'' because of the manufacturing interest, trading interest, and money interest.

2.He thinks that federalism will make it better because the people will get what they want.
3.We disagree with him because there is people that still aren't going to be happy.
P3 Anaid R & Anais O
The problem that was facing the government was that they did not know how to manage the interests. If the manufacturing interest made things and the mercantile interest traded the things the manufacturers made, but never were successful, the manufacturers would be unhappy and they wasted all that time for nothing.
Madison thinks federalism will prevent disagreements because he said that the Constitution, the federal government, would do a better job for the people. It would regulate our interests so that way we wouldn't disagree. He thinks it would solve the problem by making different citizen's interests equal.
I agree with Madison because the federal government has prevented disputes when it comes to our interests. Federalism can solve the problem because the states themselves don't have to take care of them, the central government helps them solve problems with their interests.
Period-3-Carlos H.-Anthony G.
The problem was that everyone was interested to themselves not each other.
Per:3 Ramiro B Sandra C.

The problem was that the people only had interests on things involving their own city not worrying about the WHOLE u.s
Federalism would solve the problem because they divided powers, small local problems would be refferred to state government,and bigger problems would be reffered to national government.
Alan R. Abraham L p.6
1. the problem was that each state had their own personal intrests and didnt care about others
2. he thinks Fedralism will give the states enough power to face ther own intrests and not have their problems spread
3. We agree because there has been no beter idea so far then Madison.
darlene visoso period 3
1. the problem was that peopl only cared about thier state's and not the others.
2. he thinks federalism will help prevent disagreements by keeping the prob. in that state.
3. yes i agree because without it it would be like the king ruling over us all over again.
Madison was always worried that "interests" would ruin our government since they would be concerned about what is good for them, and not for the country as a whole. Today we often call these "special interests."
Madison felt that federalism was the answer to that problem, since the "interests" would have power at the state level on issues that concerned them, but at the national level, the government would deal with what is best for all Americans.
In 2009, we seem to have "interests" at both the federal and state level. It takes a great leader to do what is right, and not listen to "interests" who are only concerned about their own interests.
