Assignment: Application: Literature on Democratic Governance

In this week’s Discussion, you analyzed founding documents of American democracy to determine how democratic concepts and principles are manifested in those early writings, including the Declaration of Independence and The Constitution. For this Assignment, you are asked to shift your thoughts to the Federalist Papers. The Federalist Papers are a series of 85 essays written by Alexander Hamilton, James Madison, and John Jay supporting the ratification of the Constitution. Although often overlooked in mainstream education in favor of The Declaration of Independence and The Constitution, The Federalist papers are the best description of the founders’ intent for governance of their new nation. The proposed Constitution was sent to the states for ratification in September 1787. Articles soon appeared and became known as the “Anti-Federalist Papers” which became critical to the new Constitution. In response, Hamilton decided to defend ratification of the new Constitution and began an extensive explanation.

To prepare for this Assignment:

  • Review the articles “Federalist Paper No. 10,” “Federalist Paper No. 51,” and “Federalist Paper No. 78.”
  • Peruse the Walden Library, academic databases, and the Internet for current literature on The Federalist Papers, particularly 10, 51, and 78.
  • Reflect on of the significance of the three selected Federalist Papers (10, 51, and 78) for democratic governance today.
