The_Anti-Federalist

The Anti-Federalist The Anti-Federalist The writer of federalist #51, most likely Alexander Hamilton, makes several great arguments in this document. However, there are certain flaws present in the writing. Hamilton makes a good point when he says that the ideal way of appointing the entire government would be to have the American People vote for every position. This is obviously the best choice because it emphasizes the idea of democracy. We were promised a government run by the people and that is exactly what we should get. Giving the president the power to appoint judges is practically king-like. That is precisely what we are trying to avoid. Hamilton says that voting for everyone is unrealistic goal. This is not the case in present day because of the internet. People could vote for who ever they want for any positions. Obviously, the people who don’t care at all wouldn’t even bother to vote and those who do care could vote in the privacy of their own homes. Although it might be a little bit more difficult than just voting for president and the legislative branch, it would be better in the long run.
