The 85 essays that comprise <em>The Federalist Papers<\/em> were published in New York City newspapers in a piecemeal fashion between October 1787 and April 1788, while the ratification debate over the new Constitution was taking place in the 13 states.&nbsp;<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>(Shortform note: Historians are unclear as to what impact of <em>The Federalist Papers<\/em> was on the ratification of the Constitution. New York\u2019s constitutional convention <em>did <\/em>vote to ratify, but it was the 11th state to do so\u2014the Constitution had only needed nine states to ratify it for it to become law, thus making New York\u2019s vote largely symbolic. Moreover, New York\u2019s convention only approved the Constitution by a razor-thin 30-27 margin, indicating that <em>The Federalist Papers<\/em> failed to significantly move public opinion, even in the state where they were most heavily published. Outside of New York, they were hardly published at all, further calling into question their effect. Nevertheless, they stand as an important analysis of the merits of the Constitution and are widely regarded as essential reading for those interested in the history of American governance.)<\/p>\n\n\n\n<h3 class=\"wp-block-heading\"><strong>What did <em>The Federalist Papers <\/em>d<\/strong>o About Electing Senators?<\/h3>\n\n\n\n<p>The Senate is the upper chamber of the national legislature. Senators were to serve six-year terms and be elected by the state legislatures\u2014<em>not<\/em> by the people themselves. <strong>The Senate was designed to temper the more dangerous democratic impulses of the House. <\/strong>This was because its members were fewer, they were not elected directly by the people, and their terms in office would be longer. This would prevent them from being susceptible to democratic political pressures.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>(Shortform note: The significance of <em>The Federalist Papers<\/em> is the original process for electing Senators, which was a system of having state legislatures elect senators had become rife with corruption by the late-19th century, with scandalous incidents of Senate seats being openly bought and sold. Moreover, the <a href=\"https:\/\/www.shortform.com\/blog\/party-polarization\/\">political polarization<\/a> of the time had frequently resulted in state legislatures failing to come to agreement on elections to the Senate. This resulted in many Senate seats going unfilled, leaving states without representation in the upper chamber of Congress. The Seventeenth Amendment to the Constitution, ratified in 1913, finally ended senatorial election by state legislatures, mandating instead that senators be directly elected by the voters of their states.)<\/p>\n\n\n\n<h3 class=\"wp-block-heading\">Significance of <em>The Federalist Papers<\/em> for <strong>Treaties and Foreign Commerce<\/strong><\/h3>\n\n\n\n<p>Perhaps the most historically significant foreign policy provision of the Constitution was the explicit authority it gave to the federal government to outlaw the international slave trade beginning in 1808. This was a great moral victory for the young nation and part of the significance of <em>The Federalist Papers<\/em>.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>(Shortform note: The Act Prohibiting Importation of Slaves of 1807 went into effect on January 1, 1808, thus extricating the United States from the international slave trade as soon as it was constitutionally permitted. A massive <em>internal <\/em>slave trade <em>between <\/em>the states, however, persisted until the final abolition of slavery in 1865 and there was no impact of <em>The Federalist Papers <\/em>on it.)<\/p>\n\n\n\n<h3 class=\"wp-block-heading\"><strong>Conviction After Impeachment<\/strong><\/h3>\n\n\n\n<p>What did <em>The Federalist Papers <\/em>do to address removing a problematic President? The Constitution also set out the Senate\u2019s <strong>sole authority to convict members of the executive (including the President) for high crimes and misdemeanors by a two-thirds vote, following impeachment in the House. <\/strong>This high threshold for conviction made it highly unlikely that a President would be removed from office for purely partisan reasons. Only those who had committed truly heinous offenses would be convicted.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>(Shortform note: This has indeed proven to be a high bar and is part of the significance of <em>The Federalist Papers<\/em>. Although three presidents have been impeached by the House as of 2020\u2014Andrew Johnson, Bill Clinton, and Donald Trump\u2014none has been convicted in the Senate. Richard Nixon likely <em>would <\/em>have been both impeached and convicted had he not resigned from office in 1974 amid the Watergate scandal.)<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>What is the significance of The Federalist Papers?
