Actually, these two novels could be said to express all of these themes and ideas. However, the authors of these two novels, F. Scott Fitzgerald and Ernest Hemingway, are considered by many critics, scholars, and historians to belong to what is known as "the lost generation" of American writers. Hemingway and Fitzgerald, in fact, have been considered to be the "leaders," in a sense, of the "lost generation" of American writers, especially given their mutual expression of purpose for the post World War I generation in their novels.
Hamilton, Madison, and Washington
Alexander Hamilton, James Madison, and George Washington were advocates of the federal system.
In their attempt to balance order with liberty, the Founders identified several reasons for creating a federalist government:
to avoid tyranny
to allow more participation in politics
to use the states as "laboratories" for new ideas and programs.
