If we choose the wrong path, it might be seen as a huge misfortune f= or all people. ## Section 2 of 13 {.OldEnglish} This idea will add the inducements of philanthropy to those o= f patriotism, to heighten the solicitude which all considerate and good men= must feel for the event. Happy will it be if our choice should be directed= by a judicious estimate of our true interests, unperplexed and unbiased by= considerations not connected with the public good. But this is a thing mor= e ardently to be wished than seriously to be expected. The plan offered to = our deliberations affects too many particular interests, innovates upon too= many local institutions, not to involve in its discussion a variety of obj= ects foreign to its merits, and of views, passions and prejudices little fa= vorable to the discovery of truth. {.ModernEnglish} This idea will make people more caring and patriotic, incr= easing their concern for what happens next. It would be great if our decisi= ons were based on a wise understanding of what's best for us, without being= influenced by things that aren't related to the common good. However, this= is something we can hope for more than actually expect. The plan being dis= cussed touches on many specific interests and changes a lot of local system= s, which means that the conversation will include many topics unrelated to = its merits, as well as opinions, emotions, and biases that don't help us fi= nd the truth. ## Section 3 of 13 {.OldEnglish} Among the most formidable of the obstacles which the new Cons= titution will have to encounter may readily be distinguished the obvious in= terest of a certain class of men in every State to resist all changes which= may hazard a diminution of the power, emolument, and consequence of the of= fices they hold under the State establishments; and the perverted ambition = of another class of men, who will either hope to aggrandize themselves by t= he confusions of their country, or will flatter themselves with fairer pros= pects of elevation from the subdivision of the empire into several partial = confederacies than from its union under one government. {.ModernEnglish} One of the biggest challenges the new Constitution will fa= ce is the clear interest of some people in every state who want to avoid ch= anges that could reduce their power, money, and importance in the positions= they hold within the state governments. Another group of people has a twis= ted ambition, and they either hope to gain more power by taking advantage o= f their country's confusion or believe they have better chances of rising u= p if the nation is divided into several smaller alliances instead of being = united under one government. ## Section 4 of 13 {.OldEnglish} It is not, however, my design to dwell upon observations of t= his nature. I am well aware that it would be disingenuous to resolve indisc= riminately the opposition of any set of men (merely because their situation= s might subject them to suspicion) into interested or ambitious views. Cand= or will oblige us to admit that even such men may be actuated by upright in= tentions; and it cannot be doubted that much of the opposition which has ma= de its appearance, or may hereafter make its appearance, will spring from s= ources, blameless at least, if not respectable--the honest errors of minds = led astray by preconceived jealousies and fears. {.ModernEnglish} However, it's not my intention to focus on observations li= ke these. I know it would be dishonest to assume that all people who oppose= the new Constitution do so only because of their personal interests or amb= itions. We must be fair and admit that even these people might have good in= tentions. It's undeniable that a lot of the opposition we've seen, or might= see in the future, comes from sources that are at least innocent, if not a= dmirable. These are honest mistakes made by people whose minds have been mi= sled by their existing worries and fears. ## Section 5 of 13 {.OldEnglish} So numerous indeed and so powerful are the causes which serve= to give a false bias to the judgment, that we, upon many occasions, see wi= se and good men on the wrong as well as on the right side of questions of t= he first magnitude to society. This circumstance, if duly attended to, woul= d furnish a lesson of moderation to those who are ever so much persuaded of= their being in the right in any controversy. And a further reason for caut= ion, in this respect, might be drawn from the reflection that we are not al= ways sure that those who advocate the truth are influenced by purer princip= les than their antagonists. Ambition, avarice, personal animosity, party op= position, and many other motives not more laudable than these, are apt to o= perate as well upon those who support as those who oppose the right side of= a question. Were there not even these inducements to moderation, nothing c= ould be more ill-judged than that intolerant spirit which has, at all times= , characterized political parties. For in politics, as in religion, it is e= qually absurd to aim at making proselytes by fire and sword. Heresies in ei= ther can rarely be cured by persecution. {.ModernEnglish} So many things can make people's judgments biased that som= etimes we see smart and good people on the wrong side of important issues. = If we pay attention to this, it can teach us to be more moderate in our opi= nions, even when we're sure we're right. Another reason to be careful is th= at we can't always be sure that people who support the truth have better in= tentions than their opponents. Ambition, greed, personal dislike, and other= less-than-noble motives can influence both those who support and those who= oppose the right side of an issue. Even without these reasons, being intol= erant is a bad approach in politics, just as it is in religion. Trying to c= onvert people by force doesn't work, and it's just as ridiculous in both ar= eas. Persecuting people for their beliefs rarely changes their minds. ## Section 6 of 13 {.OldEnglish} And yet, however just these sentiments will be allowed to be,= we have already sufficient indications that it will happen in this as in a= ll former cases of great national discussion. A torrent of angry and malign= ant passions will be let loose. To judge from the conduct of the opposite p= arties, we shall be led to conclude that they will mutually hope to evince = the justness of their opinions, and to increase the number of their convert= s by the loudness of their declamations and the bitterness of their invecti= ves. An enlightened zeal for the energy and efficiency of government will b= e stigmatized as the offspring of a temper fond of despotic power and hosti= le to the principles of liberty. An over-scrupulous jealousy of danger to t= he rights of the people, which is more commonly the fault of the head than = of the heart, will be represented as mere pretense and artifice, the stale = bait for popularity at the expense of the public good. It will be forgotten= , on the one hand, that jealousy is the usual concomitant of love, and that= the noble enthusiasm of liberty is apt to be infected with a spirit of nar= row and illiberal distrust. {.ModernEnglish} Even though these thoughts are fair, we've already seen si= gns that this situation will be like past major national debates, with a fl= ood of anger and hostility. Looking at how the opposing sides act, we can g= uess that they'll both try to prove they're right and win more supporters b= y shouting loudly and insulting each other. People who passionately want a = strong and efficient government will be accused of loving tyrannical power = and being against freedom. On the other hand, people who worry too much abo= ut threats to people's rights will be seen as faking concern just to become= popular at the expense of the common good. People will forget that jealous= y often comes with love, and that the excitement for freedom can sometimes = lead to narrow-minded and ungenerous distrust. ## Section 7 of 13 {.OldEnglish} On the other hand, it will be equally forgotten that the vigo= r of government is essential to the security of liberty; that, in the conte= mplation of a sound and well-informed judgment, their interest can never be= separated; and that a dangerous ambition more often lurks behind the speci= ous mask of zeal for the rights of the people than under the forbidden appe= arance of zeal for the firmness and efficiency of government. History will = teach us that the former has been found a much more certain road to the int= roduction of despotism than the latter, and that of those men who have over= turned the liberties of republics, the greatest number have begun their car= eer by paying an obsequious court to the people; commencing demagogues, and= ending tyrants. {.ModernEnglish} On the other hand, people will also forget that a strong g= overnment is necessary to protect freedom, and that these two things are ac= tually connected. A dangerous ambition is often hidden behind the fake conc= ern for people's rights rather than behind the desire for a strong and effi= cient government. History shows us that the first approach is more likely t= o lead to tyranny than the second. Most of the people who destroyed republi= cs started out by pretending to be the people's champions, only to become d= ictators in the end. ## Section 8 of 13 {.OldEnglish} In the course of the preceding observations, I have had an ey= e, my fellow-citizens, to putting you upon your guard against all attempts,= from whatever quarter, to influence your decision in a matter of the utmos= t moment to your welfare, by any impressions other than those which may res= ult from the evidence of truth. You will, no doubt, at the same time, have = collected from the general scope of them, that they proceed from a source n= ot unfriendly to the new Constitution. Yes, my countrymen, I own to you tha= t, after having given it an attentive consideration, I am clearly of opinio= n it is your interest to adopt it. {.ModernEnglish} In the previous observations, my fellow citizens, I have b= een trying to warn you against any attempts from any source to influence yo= ur decision on this very important issue, except through the truth. You mig= ht have noticed that my overall perspective is in favor of the new Constitu= tion. Yes, my fellow Americans, I admit that after carefully considering it= , I strongly believe it is in your best interest to adopt it. ## Section 9 of 13 {.OldEnglish} I am convinced that this is the safest course for your libert= y, your dignity, and your happiness. I affect not reserves which I do not f= eel. I will not amuse you with an appearance of deliberation when I have de= cided. I frankly acknowledge to you my convictions, and I will freely lay b= efore you the reasons on which they are founded. The consciousness of good = intentions disdains ambiguity. I shall not, however, multiply professions o= n this head. My motives must remain in the depository of my own breast. My = arguments will be open to all, and may be judged of by all. They shall at l= east be offered in a spirit which will not disgrace the cause of truth. {.ModernEnglish} I am convinced that this is the safest path for your freed= om, your dignity, and your happiness. I won't pretend to be unsure when I a= m certain. I honestly admit my beliefs to you and will share the reasons be= hind them. Knowing I have good intentions, I won't be ambiguous. However, I= won't keep repeating myself on this topic. My motives will stay within my = own heart. My arguments will be available for everyone to examine and judge= . At the very least, they will be presented in a way that won't discredit t= he pursuit of truth. ## Section 10 of 13 {.OldEnglish} I propose, in a series of papers, to discuss the following in= teresting particulars: THE UTILITY OF THE UNION TO YOUR POLITICAL PROSPERIT= Y THE INSUFFICIENCY OF THE PRESENT CONFEDERATION TO PRESERVE THAT UNION THE= NECESSITY OF A GOVERNMENT AT LEAST EQUALLY ENERGETIC WITH THE ONE PROPOSED= , TO THE ATTAINMENT OF THIS OBJECT THE CONFORMITY OF THE PROPOSED CONSTITUT= ION TO THE TRUE PRINCIPLES OF REPUBLICAN GOVERNMENT ITS ANALOGY TO YOUR OWN= STATE CONSTITUTION and lastly, THE ADDITIONAL SECURITY WHICH ITS ADOPTION = WILL AFFORD TO THE PRESERVATION OF THAT SPECIES OF GOVERNMENT, TO LIBERTY, = AND TO PROPERTY. {.ModernEnglish} In a series of papers, I plan to discuss the following imp= ortant points: The usefulness of the union for your political success; the = inability of the current confederation to maintain that union; the need for= a government at least as strong as the one proposed to achieve this goal; = how the proposed constitution aligns with the true principles of a republic= an government; its similarity to your own state constitution; and finally, = the extra protection that adopting it will provide for preserving this type= of government, as well as for liberty and property. ## Section 11 of 13 {.OldEnglish} In the progress of this discussion I shall endeavor to give a= satisfactory answer to all the objections which shall have made their appe= arance, that may seem to have any claim to your attention. {.ModernEnglish} During this discussion, I will try to provide satisfying a= nswers to all the objections that come up and seem worth paying attention t= o. ## Section 12 of 13 {.OldEnglish} It may perhaps be thought superfluous to offer arguments to p= rove the utility of the UNION, a point, no doubt, deeply engraved on the he= arts of the great body of the people in every State, and one, which it may = be imagined, has no adversaries. But the fact is, that we already hear it w= hispered in the private circles of those who oppose the new Constitution, t= hat the thirteen States are of too great extent for any general system, and= that we must of necessity resort to separate confederacies of distinct por= tions of the whole. {.ModernEnglish} Some people might think it's unnecessary to give reasons t= o show the usefulness of the UNION, as it's probably something deeply value= d by most people in every state and doesn't seem to have opponents. However= , we've already heard whispers among those who oppose the new Constitution,= saying that the thirteen states are too big for a single system and that w= e must inevitably create separate alliances for different parts of the whol= e country. ## Section 13 of 13 {.OldEnglish} This doctrine will, in all probability, be gradually propagat= ed, till it has votaries enough to countenance an open avowal of it. For no= thing can be more evident, to those who are able to take an enlarged view o= f the subject, than the alternative of an adoption of the new Constitution = or a dismemberment of the Union. It will therefore be of use to begin by ex= amining the advantages of that Union, the certain evils, and the probable d= angers, to which every State will be exposed from its dissolution. This sha= ll accordingly constitute the subject of my next address. {.ModernEnglish} This idea will likely spread slowly until enough supporter= s openly endorse it. For those who can see the big picture, it's clear that= the choice is between adopting the new Constitution or breaking apart the = Union. So, it's helpful to start by looking at the benefits of the Union, t= he definite problems, and the possible risks each state will face if the Un= ion dissolves.
