Topic > Federalists in the 19th Century - 1181

The formation of the United States Constitution in 1787 led to the people of the United States dividing into two groups: the Federalists and the Anti-Federalists. Both agreed on some political thoughts and at the same time disagreed. The most obvious thing is that the Federalists favored the central government, while the Anti-Federalists opposed it. To colonize the new country after the Revolutionary War, Hamilton's Federalists best represented the ideals of America during the 19th century because they centralized politics, the rights of individuals, and the economy. Federalism protected against tyranny, provided military security, and reduced fighting. between states. When the colonies declared their independence from Great Britain in 1786, the framers of the Constitutional Convention attempted to balance the perceived tyranny. As a result, federalism was created to preserve freedom while maintaining order as a new nation. “The Federalist Paper No. 51” by James Madison stated: “In the compound republic of America, the power surrendered by the people is first divided between two distinct governments, and then the portion allotted to each divided among distinct and separate departments. The result is a double security for the rights of the people. The different governments will control each other, at the same time each will be controlled by itself." Federalism was able to balance power through checks and balances. He distributed his power into three branches: legislative, executive and judicial branches. Checks and balances work to prevent a branch from becoming too powerful. Separation of powers does the same thing: divides power between the three branches who then monitor each other. This results in double security for the people... mid-paper... granted the right to trade with British possessions in India and the Caribbean for American cotton. In conclusion, the success and failure of federalism depends on the balance between the central government and the federal units. Considering the case of the United States, education is very important throughout the nation. However, due to the gap in student achievement in each state, the federal government began the No Child Left Behind program in 2002. The NCLB program provides accountability for educational metrics and provides many schools with flexible education programs that work best in their localities. The NCLB program invites the 50 states to work on student achievement gaps in the United States. Contributes to redesigning the role of state and local public administrators in the United States, which was not foreseen at the time of the establishment of the federal system.
