Strong Central Government Alien And Sedition Acts

Federalism was selected as the most appealing
system of government in 1787, primarily because of
lack of feasible alternatives. Confederacy had
been tried by the 13 states under the Articles of
Confederation, and found to be lacking, in that it
did not provide adequate cohesiveness between the
individual nation-states. However, widespread
loyalty to state government and identity prevented
the adoption of a fully unitary system. Instead,
founders chose federalism as a moderate option
which could ...

of civilized society. Politics in America, at
least in the current times, focuses on a two party
system (although other parties are not discouraged
from presenting candidates, and many often do, the
political arena is generally dominated by two
major parties). This dichotomy exists due to the
public? s desire to simplify all competitions to
one man against the other. This was not always the
case. In the early part of the 1800? s, the
