About “Federalist No. 9”
Federalist No. 9, titled "The Union as a Safeguard Against Domestic Faction and Insurrection," is a political essay by Alexander Hamilton and the ninth of The Federalist Papers. It was first published on November 21, 1787, in the New York Daily Advertiser and the Independent Journal under the pseudonym Publius. The essay argues that large republics can achieve stability and that they do not necessarily lead to tyranny, countering the beliefs of Hamilton's opponents. It laid the groundwork for Federalist No. 10, which became the most influential essay in the series. (Summary adapted from Wikipedia, CC BY-SA 4.0.)
