(2) the second class was reported as comprised by "those descriptions of men who are certainly more numerous with us than in any other part of the globe. First, those men who are so wise as to discover that their ancestors and indeed all the rest of mankind were and are fools. We have a vast overproportion of these great men, who, when you tell them that from the earliest period at which mankind devoted their attention to social happiness, it has been their uniform judgment, that a government over governments cannot exist - that is two governments operating on the same individual - assume the smile of confidence, and tell you of two people travelling the same road - of a perfect and precise division of the duties of the individual."

(3) it is stated that heading the third class are the "old rigid republications, who although few in number are still formidable. They are joined by the true democrats who are in general fanatics and enthusiasts and some few sensible charming madmen. But as this last class is forced to act as a residuary legatee, and receive all the trash and filth, it is in some measure disgraced and its influence weakened. In this [third] class may be counted men of the greatest mental powers and of as sublime virtue as any in America. They at present command nearly one-third of the property and above half the numbers of the United States, and in either event, they must continue...

The type of diversity that the Federalists and Anti-Federalists were focused on were those of human rights and the various methods used to earn a living by the diverse peoples and tradesmen, farmers, and laborers in American. Diversity required a rule by and for the people on a local level rather than mandates being issued from the federal level that really had no idea of what was needed locally or what was not needed nor indeed wanted. The Anti-Federalists were not against the U.S. Constitution, but instead they were standing clearly in representation for the smaller farmers against the ruling class of larger landholders and wealthier individuals who sought the freedom to dictate from the top down in what was originally conceived as a bottom-up approach of self-rule by and for the people of America.

The manner the American Republic was established continues to fascinate historians and the lay people alike. For a long time, historians accorded the major role in the formation of the United States to the struggles and virtues of the founding members of the republic.

American Federalism POL 319 State & Local Governments Brian Kimminau Democracy in America has evolved from the concept of federalism allowing citizens at all levels to develop their own governance system. Since the founding of the United States in 1776 different governmental structures both on the state and local level developed. My paper takes a closer look at three different faces of state and local government in the United States of today: Direct
The force of the explosion ripped the building from its foundation. The building then imploded upon itself," read a Defense Department report on the attack. "Almost all the occupants were crushed or trapped inside the wreckage (CBS News, 1983)." If one looks at the events of 1983 closely, it is perhaps possible to see what might have occurred differently in the Middle East if the United States had proceeded in a

This view, however, fails in Limerick's mind, to adequately show how we can directly trace our current social, economic, and political order to Jamestown, Salem, and the Louisiana Purchase. "White Americans saw the acquisition of property as a cultural imperative" (Limerick, 55). How has that changed either before or after? Isn't that the justification used by the Virginia Company when establishing Jamestown? Isn't that the same as Sam Houston's
