• Wikisource link to infobox.
• "power should be infinite" I think "unrestrained" works better than "infinite" here.
• "rather than as enumerated powers" Unclear how this contrasts with the "ends it is meant to achieve"; a brief explanation would be helpful.
• Capitalize Anti-Federalists.
• "would lack the means to achieve its ends" to "would deprive the government of the means to achieve its ends"?
• "government powerless in raising a defense in Federalist No. 34" This is somewhat awkwardly worded, I initially parsed it as meaning that Hamilton was raising a defense of some point. Perhaps reword to make it clearer that it's about the actual government's ability to defend the country.
• References seem reliable; will spot-check later.
  • Spot-checks: All sources checked verify claims made.
  • "Federalist Papers: Primary Documents in American History". Library of Congress.
  • "Federalist Essays in Historic Newspapers". Library of Congress.
  • Newcomer, Kathryn E.; Kee, James Edwin (2011). "Federalist No. 23: Can the Leviathan Be Managed?".
  • Barber, Sotirios A. (1988). "Judicial Review and "The Federalist"". The University of Chicago Law Review.
• That's all I have, nice work. AryKun (talk) 20:57, 6 February 2024 (UTC)
