How to adopt The Constitution?

The way Alexander Hamilton and the federalist found to easily ratify the Constitution was to point out the weakness of the  government under the Articles of Confederation and the importance of a energetic and strong central government.

The states were more likely independents states than a nation itself. They had a lack of working together, did not protect people's right, did not have a strong central government to preserve the peace ( Shay's rebellion example)., did not bear army, nor navy, just a state militia as a defense system, did not have a currency system, nor a  effective way to raise money( taxes), not trading with foreign nations, not penalties for disobedience or breaking the law. Hamilton thought the solution for all the problems as the creation of a strong central government to somehow preserve the union(nation) " form a more perfect union like the preamble says, the lack of togetherness was very dangerous and in hard times would worsened things up.


The authorities(government) essential to the common defense are these: to raise armies; to build and equip fleets; to prescribe rules for the government of both; to direct their operations; to provide for their support. These powers ought to exist without limitation, because it is impossible to foresee or define the extent and variety of national exigencies, or the correspondent extent and variety of the means to which may be necessary to satisfy them” [Hamilton’s italics].
