The Same Subject Continued (The Insufficiency of the Present Confederation to Preserve the Union) For the Independent Journal. Alexander Hamilton and James Madison To the People of the State of New York: THE examples of ancient confederacies, cited in my last paper, have not exhausted the source of experimental instruction on this subject. There are [...]

The Same Subject Continued (The Insufficiency of the Present Confederation to Preserve the Union) From the New York Packet. Tuesday, December 4, 1787. Alexander Hamilton To the People of the State of New York: THE tendency of the principle of legislation for States, or communities, in their political capacities, as it has been exemplified by [...]
