A Founding Father, Hamilton was 

also known as the first Secretary of 

the Treasury for the United States.

He, along with two others, wrote and 

organized the Federalist Papers.

These papers were created to give 

solid reasons as to why an official 

Constitution must be written and put 

into effect for the United States of 

America.

* The Federal Government must 

protect those it governs.

* This means that the 

Government must retain the 

power to limit or heighten the 

numbers in the armed forces. 

* The Government must be 

capable of protecting its people 

under the three branches.

* The main discussion revolves around the 

Government's ability and right to use an 

army in a time of peace.

* Through arguments regarding the right 

of the executive power or the legislature to 

call upon an army, a conclusion is reached 

that a standing army in peace time is 

necessary no matter what.

* Our allies have allies that are our 

enemies, therefore protection is always 

needed just in case a problem should arise.

The question is brought 

up as to whether the 

states should have 

their own armies or a 

whole, national armed 

body to defend us all.

* If the states do gain this 

privilege, the duty is given 

unfairly to all border states 

because they are closer to our 

enemy countries.

* The conclusion: a national 

army is necessary.

* The conclusion: with this 

national army, it is important 

to keep the protection in place 

regardless of times of peace. 

Without this protection, the 

enemy would be in our 

territory before we would be 

able to react.

* The discussion is continued 

with why we, as Americans, 

need and should care about 

this protection.

* The end of this discussion 

centers around the rights and 

liberty of the people; if an 

army is to be used in a time 

of peace, our freedoms can 

not be jeopardized. 

* If the government remains 

strong, the people should be 

able to fully rely on it.

* The military, being present 

in peace-time, will not affect 

the enforcement of laws.

*This type of government 

creates stability and 

peacefulness among the 

people.

*A tyrannical government 

will never arise.

* At times, it may be necessary 

for the government to use force 

to enforce its control over its 

people.

* But only when the problem 

stretches beyond the state it 

first began in will the federal 

government intervene.

* This article serves as a summary of the previous 

articles in quelling the people's fears of a 

tyrannical type government similar to Britain's 

rule.

* Finally, the article clarifies the right to bear arms 

for the citizens of America; we are allowed to keep 

and bear arms at all times.
