Federalist No . 28 Federalist No . 28 is an essay by Alexander Hamilton , the twenty - eighth of the " Federalist Papers " . It was published on December 26 , 1787 under the pseudonym Publius , the name under which all the " Federalist Papers " were published . This is the last of three essays discussing the threat to the common good stemming from excessive restraint on legislative authority . It is titled , " The Same Subject Continued : The Idea of Restraining the Legislative Authority in Regard to the Common Defense Considered . " Publius argues that rebellion is always a possibility with any government . In a Union , if the rebellion is small the state government may deal with it , but if insurrection involves an entire state then the national government must respond . If , on the other hand , the national government usurps power and betrays the people then the state governments are in a better position to oppose the national government , being fully fledged governments in their own right and led by experienced men . The people may choose which government best upholds their rights and concerns , the national or the state government , and thereby determine the outcome of a conflict . The great geographical extent of the Union provides a defense against the usurpations of the national government . Also , the limited resources available to the national army make it unlikely that it would grow large enough to erect a despotism .

The IJN designed these submarines to support flying boat s in forward areas .

That boat , " I - 351 " , was sunk on the return leg of her second voyage in 1945 ; the second boat was destroyed by an American air raid before she was completed . Four additional submarines were planned , but were cancelled before they were laid down . Design and description . The " I - 351 " - class submarines was ordered under the 5th Fleet Replenishment Program of 1942 to support IJN flying boats in areas where there were no shore facilities and seaplane tender s could not operate . They were designed to support up to three flying boats with fuel , ammunition , water and even replacement aircrew . These submarines had a length of overall , a beam of and a draft of . They displaced on the surface and submerged . They had a diving depth of and a crew of 77 officers and enlisted men plus accommodations for 13 aircrew . The boats had two propellers , each of which was driven by a diesel engine as well as a electric motor . This arrangement gave the " I - 351 " - class submarines a maximum speed of while surfaced and submerged . They had a range of at while on the surface and at while submerged . This gave them an endurance of 60 days . The boats were equipped with four torpedo tube s in the bow and they carried four torpedoes .

Gorgidas Gorgidas ( Ancient Greek : Γοργίδας ) was the first known Theban military leader of the Sacred Band of Thebes . Plutarch chronicled their exploits . Gorgidas , around 378 BC , first established the Sacred Band by choosing couples from his army . Plutarch in his " Life of Pelopidas " said this was Gorgidas ' inspiration : " Since the lovers , ashamed to be base in sight of their beloved , and the beloved before their lovers , willingly rush into danger for the relief of one another . " The Sacred Band was at first dispersed throughout the front ranks of the regular infantry , with the idea that they would inspire valour , but they were later arrayed as a unit in order to make their gallantry more conspicuous . After Thebes contributed to a Peloponnesian League victory in the Peloponnesian War in 404 BC , they allied themselves with Corinth , Argos , and Athens in the Corinthian War , fighting with Spartan troops , and becoming fierce warriors . Pelopidas recaptured the Theban Cadmea in 379 BC after a Spartan takeover in 381 , and he assumed the command of the Sacred Band in which he fought alongside his good friend , General Epaminondas . The Sacred Band under Pelopidas fought the Spartans in Tegyra , vanquishing an army that was at least three times their number . The Sacred Band was also responsible for the victory of Leuctra in 371 BC , called by Pausanias the most decisive battle ever fought by Greeks against Greeks . Leuctra established Theban independence from Spartan rule , and laid the groundwork for the expansion of Theban power , though possibly also for Philip II ' s eventual victory . The Sacred Band was eventually destroyed by Philip II of Macedon , who had been held as a hostage in Thebes , and had learned his military tactics there . The remainder of the Theban army fled when faced with the overwhelming forces of Philip and his son Alexander , but the Sacred Band , surrounded , held their ground and many died where they stood . Philip buried their bodies with honor , setting up the Lion of Chaeronea over them . The grave was excavated in 1890 , confirming Plutarch ' s account , though only 254 skeletons were unearthed . Cultural references . In the Videssos Cycle by Harry Turtledove , there appears as a main character a Greek physician named Gorgidas , who has much in common with the men of the Sacred Band of Thebes . In the Thieves ' World shared universe , Janet Morris introduced The Sacred Band of Stepsons , a mythical ancient fighting unit of couples interspersed with unpaired hoplites in the same way that Gorgidas used the Sacred Band of Thebes . In the book My Fair Captain by J . L . Langley , the society mainly featured is based on and draws its roots from the Sacred Band of Thebes mentioning Gorgidas .

Charles Oman Sir Charles William Chadwick Oman KBE ( 12 January 1860 – 23 June 1946 ) was a British military historian of the early 20th century . His reconstructions of medieval battles from the fragmentary and distorted accounts left by chroniclers were pioneering . His style is an invigorating mixture of historical accuracy and emotional highlights , and it makes his narratives , though founded on deep research , often read as smoothly as fiction , especially in his " History of the Peninsular War " . Occasionally , his interpretations have been challenged , especially his widely copied thesis that British troops defeated their Napoleonic opponents by firepower alone . Paddy Griffith , among modern historians , claims the British infantry ' s discipline and willingness to attack were equally important . He was born in Muzaffarpur district , India , the son of a British planter , and was educated at Oxford University , where he studied under William Stubbs . In 1881 he was elected to a Prize Fellowship at All Souls College , where he would remain for the rest of his career . He was elected the Chichele Professor of modern history at Oxford in 1905 , in succession to Montagu Burrows . He was also elected to the FBA that year , serving as President of the Royal Historical Society ( 1917 – 1921 ) , the Numismatic Society and the Royal Archaeological Institute . His academic career was interrupted by the First World War , during which he was employed by the government Press Bureau and Foreign Office . Oman was a Conservative member of Parliament for the University of Oxford constituency from 1919 to 1935 , and was knight ed in 1920 . He became an honorary fellow of New College in 1936 and received the honorary degrees of DCL ( Oxford , 1926 ) and LL . D ( Edinburgh , 1911 and Cambridge , 1927 ) . He died at Oxford . Two of his children became authors . Son Charles ( C . C . Oman ) wrote several volumes on British silverware and similar housewares , worked as a Keeper of the Department of Metalwork in the Victoria and Albert Museum , and was active in the Folklore Society . Daughter Carola was notable for her biographies , especially that of Nelson .
