Important quotes from the Federalist Papers No.2 , 9, 39, or 41?

Question

One important quote from either one of them. And please explain why it is important.

Answer 1

Federalist Paper 2, written by John Jay.
“Nothing is more certain than the indispensable necessity of government; and it is equally undeniable that whenever and however it is instituted, the people must cede to it some of their natural rights, in order to vest it with requisite powers. It is well worthy of consideration, therefore, whether it would conduce more to the interest of the people of America that they should, to all general purposes, be one nation, under one federal government, than that they should divide themselves into separate confederacies and give to the head of each the same kind of powers which they are advised to place in one national government.”

Jay salutes the Union, paying special attention to the physical, cultural, linguistic, and sentimental oneness of the American people. He praises the learning, virture, and experience of the Philadelphia Convention.

Federalist Paper 9, written by Alexander Hamilton.
“A firm Union will be of the utmost moment to the peace and liberty of the States as a barrier against domestic faction and insurrection.”

Alexander Hamilton argued, using reference to Montesquieu, that the size of the American Union would be the primary element for security from external entities and to protect individual liberty internally.

Federalist Paper 39, written by James Madison.
“The first question that offers itself is whether the general form and aspect of the government of the government be strictly republican. It is evident that no other form would be reconcilable with the genius of the people of America; with the fundamental principals of Revolution; or with that honorable determination which animates every votary of freedom to rest all our political experiments on the capacity of mankind for self-government.”

First proving republicanism is essential to the new government, Madison makes a painstaking analysis of the proposed government’s national and federal characteristics. The proposed Constitution is, he stated, is, in strictness, neither a national nor a federal constitution but a composition of both.

Federalist Paper 41, written by James Madison.
“Security against foreign danger is one of the primitive objects of civil society. It is an avowed and essential object of the American Union. The powers requisite for attaining it must be effectively confided to the federal government.”

Madison reviews the powers granted in the Constitution by first justifying those designed for security against foreign danger.

Federalist 39

Answer 4

Funny thing. Jefferson was NOT one of the Framers of the Constitution. That would mean more if he had been one of those gentlemen in the room hammering out and debating the Constitution. PS....Jefferson also wrote ""No free man shall ever be debarred the use of arms. The strongest reason for the people to retain the right to keep and bear arms is, as a last resort, to protect themselves against tyranny in government" You yourself often ask the question where does it say in the 2nd Amendment that it's about resisting government tyranny. Well, Old TJ said that's what it's for! So which is it? Do we trust old TJ on these issues, or not? I for one am fine with separation of church and state. UPDATE: As continued writing this answer, I realized that. I am actually taking both sides in this answer.

Answer 5

Number 39:

"The President is to continue in office for the period of four years.."
====================
This is important, because this measure prevents tyranny in the US. Regular elections of the chief executive prevent the establishment of the hereditary monarchy.
