Federalist Paper #18, co-authored by Alexander Hamilton and James Madison, examines the failures of ancient confederacies such as the Amphictyonic Council and the Achaean League to argue for a stronger union under the proposed U.S. Constitution. These historical leagues suffered from weak central authority, internal strife, and susceptibility to manipulation by dominant states, leading to their eventual collapse. Hamilton and Madison warn that without a robust federal government, the United States could face similar issues, resulting in instability, conflict, and vulnerability to external threats. Their analysis underscores the importance of a unified and effective central government to ensure the stability and prosperity of the nation. This argument is crucial because it highlights the need for a strong federal system to prevent the fragmentation and failure that have plagued previous confederacies, safeguarding the future of the American republic.
