Federalist Papers

One of the founding fathers of America, Thomas Jefferson, who later became the third president of this new country, considered the Federalist Papers the best, from ever written comments to the basic principles of government.” According to John Stuart Mill, The Federalist - this is usually called a collection of 85 short essays was most instructive treatise on government, which we have. In 1835, the astute French political commentator, Alexis de Tocqueville wrote that The Federalist Papers represent "an excellent book with which you should read the statesmen of all countries.

Modern historians, lawyers and political scientists agree that the Federalist is the most significant work of political philosophy and practical issues of government ever written in the United States. This work was compared with the Republic Plato Politics of Aristotle and the Leviathan by Thomas Hobbes (Paul, 1967).

It may seem that such a work as "The Federalist Papers," has received unprecedented praise and enjoyed such a strong influence, was the fruit of a huge life experience gained from research and practical experience in government. In fact, these notes were written by two young men - 32-year-old Alexander Hamilton of New York State and 36-year-old James Madison of Virginia. They wrote their work in a hurry - sometimes four essays a week.

Kentucky and Virginia Resolutions

In 1776, the colony of Virginia appropriated the land of Kentucky which became known as Kentucky County. The name probably derives from the word "prairie" in the language of the Iroquois. In 1778, the expedition established a settlement by J. Clark in the city of Louisville. During the War of Independence, the U.S. supported the local Indians and the British fought against the inhabitants of the American colonies. In 1782, there was a decisive battle Blue Licks won by the Americans. The flow of settlers after the Revolutionary War has increased sharply. Residents of Kentucky began to seek independence from Virginia. In 1792, Kentucky became the 15th U.S. state. During the Civil War, Kentucky declared its neutrality. In 1798, adopted Resolution Kentucky and Virginia (Kentucky and Virginia Resolutions).

Inside Kentucky on the eve of and during the Civil War there was a split because of the economic interests of the planters of tobacco growers and farmers (the state legislature has declared allegiance to the Union, but many entered not only into the ranks of the Union Army, but also in the army of the Confederation). Enormous damage inflicted state the Great Depression of the 1930s. (By income per capita has held last place). The period of intensive industrial development was associated with military contracts. After the Second World War, the economic situation has stabilized. The energy crisis of the 1970s was overcome by expanding the market for coal. In the late 20th century, agriculture went into decline - the number of farms has decreased three times, the general unemployment increased mechanization, tobacco (the main product of agriculture) was recognized as hazardous to health (Sally & Randall, 2005).
