Federalist No. 13
Federalist No. 13 is an essay by Alexander Hamilton, the thirteenth of The Federalist Papers.[1] It was published on November 28, 1787 under the pseudonym Publius, the name under which all The Federalist Papers were published.[2] It is titled, "Advantage of the Union in Respect to Economy in Government."[2]
Summary
This essay focuses on the view that a Union would be more economically sound than separate States.[3] Publius explains that rather than having many separate governments to support, a Union would have only one national government to support.[4] He describes this as being both simpler and more economical.[5] The essay further explains that in order to defend themselves, separate States would have to work together, but their support of one another would be disjointed.[6] Only a fully united government would provide the best defense for all the States and be able to support military establishments and necessary civil servants.[7]
