Good evening, I will be performing this review shortly. It will largely be based on the review for and content of No. 6, and after a preliminary skim I don't foresee any major issues arising. Fritzmann (message me) 23:57, 28 August 2023 (UTC)


### Review
"Though war is no longer recognized as a significant possibility" the present tense in this sentence makes it somewhat confusing
Clarified.
The article states when the paper was published, do we know when Hamilton actually wrote it?
I've never seen a mention of it for any of the papers. They wrote them anonymously, so it makes sense that this wouldn't be available.
Would a map illustrating the states and the undeveloped west be warranted?
I looked for one, but I didn't see anything helpful on Commons.
"...exacerbate tensions between the states, in Hamilton's opinion, should there be no federal government." is rather clunky
Reworded
"Articles of Confederation was" were?
Fixed
"The resolutions of these disputes in court brought animosity between the states" I think this could use just a quick word of elaboration
Reworded
"when there is no moderating centralized force derives from ideas of the Thomas Hobbes." ce
Reworded
The pivot from describing the influence of Hobbes to Montesquieu could be made more smooth, perhaps tying to a more central idea for the paragraph.
Threw a "likewise" in there.
Did this particular Federalist paper garner any responses? Or influence any later texts/essays?
None that came up in the sources I read or through Ebsco and Google Scholar searches. I also check for mentions in Supreme Court cases, and none there either. The Anti-Federalist Papers argued against the main points of the Federalist Papers in general, but I've been unable to find any sources that make a one-to-one comparison with individual Federalist Papers. I would love to expand on the aftermath sections of these articles, but I'm out of ideas on where to look.
References spotchecked:
1, claim about persuasion supported
2, publication dates accurate
3d, no access but AGF
4f, does discuss Engagements Clause
6b, mentions how Hobbes inspired Hamilton, reasonable adaptation into article
No issues from Earwig with a maximum score of 13%, almost all of which is the essay title


### Summary
Just a few questions to address, no need to incorporate all of them I'd just like to hear reasoning if you opt not to. Once those few things are taken care of I have no qualms promoting this, it is of similar quality to the other Federalist Paper GAs. Fritzmann (message me) 00:30, 29 August 2023 (UTC)
