Hamilton.
O concern over potential abuses of power by state
officials
Among the most formidable [tremendous] of the
obstacles which the new Constitution will have to
encounter may readily be distinguished the obvious
interest of a certain class of men in every State to resist
all changes which may hazard a diminution (reduction) of
the power, emolument [salary), and consequence of the
offices they hold under the State establishments.
O concern over the spread of business and commerce
O concern over members of Congress having too much
power
O concern over the removal of a list of individual rights
