speech expressing your view

Answer 1

Answer:

Dear Mr. Adams (or you can put other famous federalist figure here)

I understand that I'm just a mere citizens without any influence or power like you. Despite that, I believe the constitution that this country use as the foundation of this country, granted me the right to express my concern as citizens to the government who are supposed to represent our interest.

And this is my concern Regarding the Federalist's intention to create a strong national government.

This country is intended to be govern by the people and for the people. If, we allow a strong national government that can overpower the influence of local state, the interest of the citizens will also be overlooked. Eventually, it will create a situation where only a select group of people who had high position in the central government can fulfill their interest. While the rest of the country had to obey/follow regardless whether they want it or not.

This method is no different than the way the British government used to do to us during their colonization period. A king and the nobles sitting around in their luxurious chair, determining the way people have to live without giving us the chance to pursue our own interest.

I believe it is a grave mistake. and I believe you should reconsider your position.
