Federalist 1#: A Call for a New Constitution
The inefficiency of the current government led to the need for a new U.S. Constitution. The government struggled to pay its debts to soldiers and couldn't manage internal threats like Shay's Rebellion. These challenges, including a lack of trade protection and the failure to fund the government, highlighted the need for a stronger federal system.

The United States' Struggles Post-Revolution
After the War for Independence, the U.S. faced internal economic crises and external challenges, such as Spain blocking the Mississippi River. Failed attempts to fund the government, like the Impost Amendment of 1781, demonstrated the weaknesses of the Articles of Confederation.

The Need for a Stronger Government
Hamilton's Federalist 1 stresses the importance of a rational, unified government to ensure the safety and welfare of the union. He argues for a government built on reason, free from accidents or force, to safeguard the nation's future.

Opposition to the New Constitution
The new Constitution faced resistance from those who feared losing their power. Opponents included individuals seeking to maintain slavery or revert to British rule, making ratification a difficult process.

The External Revenue Service & Tariffs
Originally, the U.S. was funded through tariffs. The debate between free trade and protectionism plays a critical role in shaping economic policy today. China's unfair trade practices and exploitation make it increasingly difficult for American workers to compete.

The 32-Hour Work Week Proposal
A bill to reduce the U.S. workweek to 32 hours over four years promises increased worker satisfaction without a pay cut. Pilot programs have shown higher satisfaction and revenue growth. There are concerns about the impact on companies maintaining the 40-hour workweek.
