Lesson 1.3: Government Power and Individual Rights
Enduring Understanding:
The Constitution emerged from the debate about the weaknesses in the Articles of Confederation as a blueprint for limited government.
Learning Objectives:
Explain how Federalist and Anti- Federalist views on central government and democracy are reflected in U.S. foundational documents.
Essential Knowledge:
Madison’s arguments in Federalist No. 10 focused on the superiority of a large republic in controlling the “mischiefs of faction,” delegating authority to elected representatives and dispersing power between the states and national government.
Anti-Federalist writings, including Brutus No. 1, adhered to popular democratic theory that emphasized the benefits of a small decentralized republic while warning of the dangers to personal liberty from a large, centralized government.
