Republicanism as a Safeguard from Faction and Government Unaccountability The Federalist was composed when republican government, verifiably, was not mainstream. It had bombed from the beginning of time, and governments were flourishing in Europe. However the Americans, with their remarkable potential as a country, proposed to embrace it. Why, when increasingly definitive systems were prospering, would this bode well? Or then again on the off chance that it truly stayed to be seen whether social orders of men are extremely proficient or not, of building up great government from reflection and decision, or whether they are everlastingly bound to depend, for their political constitutions, on mishap and power (Federalist 1), for what reason would they not embrace a majority rules system in which individuals have the most authority over their administration? The Federalist Papers' answers on the side of republican government are just made increasingly powerful by their resistance of the predominant type of monarchical standard at that point.
