Federalist No. 46
From Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia
Federalist No. 46 is an essay by James Madison, the forty-sixth of the Federalist Papers. It was published on January 29, 1788 under the pseudonym Publius, the name under which all the Federalist Papers were published. This essay examines the relative strength of the state and federal governments under the proposed United States Constitution. It is titled, "The Influence of the State and Federal Governments Compared."
Madison stresses that the federal and state governments are two totally different agencies. He articulates that they are separate yet can collaborate together, and that the power lies in the people. The natural attachment of the people will always be to the governments of their respective states, so the federal government must be, in a sense, extraordinarily congenial to the people.
