The Continental Congress adopted the Articles of Confederation, the first constitution of the United States, on November 15, 1777, but the states did not ratify them until March 1, 1781. The Articles created a loose confederation of sovereign states and a weak central government, leaving most of the power with the state governments. Once peace removed the rationale of wartime necessity the weaknesses of the 1777 Articles of Confederation became increasingly apparent. Divisions among the states and even local rebellions threatened to destroy the fruits of the Revolution. Nationalists, led by James Madison, George Washington, Alexander Hamilton, John Jay, and James Wilson, almost immediately began working toward strengthening the federal government. They turned a series of regional commercial conferences into a national constitutional convention at Philadelphia in 1787.

What principles would describe Madison’s argument about the federal government?

Alex

Principle of bicameral functioning of the legislature, separate and equal allocation of powers in all the three branches of the government and the system of checks and balances would best describe the federal government. Strong central government was felt necessary than the states to be given with undue powers.

Explanation:

James Madison who is a strong supporter of the federal government advocated the two-tier structure of the congress. He also strongly advocated split-up of powers in order to limit the interference of the government and the three branches called legislature, judiciary and executive is conferred with some powers which are distinct and unique.

He also strongly proposed the principles of checks and balances wherein the three branches exert supervisory and regulatory authority over the other divisions of the administration which safeguards it from becoming authoritative and despotic while exercising powers.
