Explanation:
The first text reinforces the need to promote strong federal government. This concept was the main idea defended by the federalists and can be defended by the text when the author states that a people needs to be governed by a system that has the power to organize men, to control them in relation to their defects. The text shows that men are not angels, so it is necessary that a powerful system has the power to lead them. That powerful system is the federal government.
