only did he initiate the push to create a constitution, but he also carefully and
brilliantly manipulated the other delegates at the Philadelphia Convention to
create a Constitution that worked the way he wanted it to, minus a few
compromises to increase the documents appeal to delegates and state legislatures.
Madison was also one of the first Federalists, a major political party rising to the
top later in American history. His work with the Federalist party helped
strengthen and centralize the power of the federal government, many of whose
regulations were laid out in the Constitution. Madison (along with other key
figures like Alexander Hamilton and John Jay) also published a series of essays
called The Federalist to help garner support for the new Constitution and lay the
foundation for the Federalist rise to power.

To what extent did specific early

affect later social and political issues?

$500

Essential actions taken by key figures like Hamilton, Madison, and others
helped shape the Constitution, which became the foundation of the
country. The work they did also laid crucial framework for political
parties in the future, particularly the Federalists and Anti-
Federalists/Republicans. Their contributions also influenced other
countries, such as France, to undergo revolutions and adopt governments
similar to the United States’ republican system. Due to the creation of a
constitution, the idea of courts emerged as a major part of the
government. Before the constitution, however, the original Articles of
Confederation were very ineffective at doing much of anything useful for
the fledgling country. They did, however, distribute newly acquired land
in the Northwest in a very efficient and organized manner, which would
prove to be important down the road as a model for regulated westward
expansion.

Washington's cabinet.

$500

Washington's disliked political squabbling, as Americans began to divide
into two camps: the Federalists, led by Secretary of the Treasury Alexander
Hamilton, and the Republicans, led by Secretary of State Thomas Jefferson.
These factions developed and advocated diverse, dynamic, and differing
ideas and visions about the role and nature of government, society,
economic policy, foreign affiliations, diplomacy, and interpretation of the
Constitution. Hamilton argued for a strong national government and central
economic planning in the hands of the wealthy to ensure order in political

industrial power, while Jefferson hoped the nation would remain one of
small, independent farmers.
