The city of Baghdad formed two vast semi-circles on the right and left banks of the Tigris, twelve miles in diameter. The numero

us suburbs, covered with parks, gardens, villas and beautiful promenades, and plentifully supplied with rich bazaars, and finely built mosques and baths, stretched for a considerable distance on both sides of the river. In the days of its prosperity the population of Baghdad and its suburbs amounted to over two millions! ...The long wide estrades at the different gates of the city were used by the citizens for gossip and recreation or for watching the flow of travelers and country folk into the capital. The different nationalities in the capital had each a head officer to represent their interests with the government, and to whom the stranger could appeal for counsel or help."

Federal means “formed by a union
Temka [501]

Federalists wanted a stronger federal government, based on their argument that, in order for the Union to last, the national government would need powers that the Articles of Confederation denied it. This included the power to enforce laws. In short, three important leaders, Alexander Hamilton, John Jay, and James Madison, wrote a series of 85 newspapers essays in support of the Constitution. These were called the <em>Federalist Papers</em>.

On the opposing side, there were the Antifederalists. While they did, in fact, agree that the Articles of Confederation were not strong enough, they were opposed to the Constitutional Convention, as they believed it had gone too far. They argued that the Constitution weakened state governments by giving too much power to the national government, which they feared would wipe out state freedom, as well as individual power.
