creation, or at least a revision of the ineffective Articles of Confederation. Not
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.

52. $500
To what extent did specific early
decisions by leaders of the republic
affect later social and political issues?

53. $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.

Hamilton, and the Republicans, led by Secretary of State Thomas Jefferson.

oppressive, threatening states' rights and infringing upon individual liberty.
Hamilton wished to transform the United States into a self-sufficient
