Federalists!
We're who you want to be, so join!!!!!!
Why Should You Join?
- A strong federal government is key
- The Articles of Confederation stink! Why would you ever give the states more power? And only one branch of government?
- We are very persuasive- we wrote the federalists Paper
- The Constitution, our current government, was made BECAUSE OF US!!!!!!
What We've Done
The Constitution
We felt that our country needed a stronger central government. Under the Articles of Confederation the government could not put down Shay's rebellion because of the lack of an army. The Constitution was written and we support it! We influenced the states to vote for the constitution and it is now the oldest living document in the world!
Federalists Papers
We wrote the Federalist papers to convince the states to vote for the new constitution. Guess what? They worked!
