<p>char...it didnt refer to voting...at all. it just said tyranny would be curbed through a strong goverment, composed of people. </p>
<p>You so vehemently pledge that it was discussing VOTING. Give me the quote, or something similar to it.</p>
<p>I dont remember the EXACT quote- noone does. And if it didn't explicitly mention voting, it was certainly implied. The main gist of the quote was that more involvement of more people would not lead to tyranny.</p>
<p>i think i have to send you this again cause you so damn stupid</p>
<p>As the United States perceived their main enemy to be the Soviet Union, they needed missiles that could travel long distances. Therefore, after the war, the United States concentrated on developing intercontinental ballistic missiles (ICBMs). </p>
<p>AGAIN, you have failed to provide me any evidence regarding ONE SINGLE SITE that says that the army was the greatest percieved theat.</p>
<p>OWNED</p>
<p>and the quote, as I interpretted it, stated that the necessity of creating a strong centralized goverment was absolutely necessary. Therefore madison, a federalist would have supported this.</p>
<p>Stop saying OWNED- it makes you seem like a total geeky dumbass. And spent my remaining time looking over that quote question- and I'm sure it didn't talk about the necessity of a central government- you are wrong on both questions.</p>
<p>The quote was basically something a federalist would have said to an anti-federalist. The anti-federalist would have said, we need to ensure that state goverments are the most powerful, because tyranny will flourish, like it did in Britain, under a large government.</p>
<p>In respoinse, a federalist, like madison would have said, a strong centralized government will ensure that all Americans can live together, bounded by one common ideology, ensuring that tyranny would not run loose</p>
<p>i concur. it is madison. = federalist papers. quote was from the actual papers i believe. ill try to find my copy of fed 51 from at gov.</p>
<p>charchazwick...are you still 100% sure. I think your 100% has gone down to a .0000000001%</p>
<p>OWNED</p>
<p>Federalists did not want the common man having such a large stake in the government- that is why the electoral college was set up and direct elections were withheld. I KNOW the quote mentioned that there was no problem with the majority- and federalists (especially madison who helped write teh constitution) woudnt have agreed with this</p>
<p>OWNED- and MED, even if I did get these questions wrong (which I didn't)- Im still gonna get an 800. What do you have right now? Dont even talk to me.</p>
<p>END DEBATE NOW! Think of more questions.</p>
<p>the quote never referred to anything regarding giving people power. it just said, it would ensure that all peoples in the U.S. would have be protected against tyranny under a strong centralized government.</p>
<p>MED786, at least show respect to the other poster when you are debating. To be you have lost simply because of unsportsmanlike conduct and immaturity. You should be ashamed of yourself.</p>
<p>hey charchazwick i'm pretty confident that madison is the right answer...it was explicitelyt a question about the framework of the government...it had nothing that was implied or explicit about voting i'm just saying i'm not trying to start a fight</p>
<p>i also put missles as the biggest perceived SU threat.</p>
<p>i don't remember anything about their army being the greatest threat at all.</p>
<p>dont worry..when one fails to concede defeat..he says "dont take to me"</p>
<p>sounds like my little sister...lmao...noob</p>
<p>Listen- I admit that one was tricky. Now, I used my remaining 20 minutes looking over all the answers, and I studied each aspect of this one for some time. The last sentence of the quote mentioned the PARTICIPATION of the majority- Im sure of that. It was not talking about central government.</p>
<p>And MED, stop using all this geeky computer language crap. You sound like a pathetic tool. "Noob?" come on. As I said, I'm still getting an 800 either way, and it will be good if the correct answer truly comes out of this debate. So, please act civilized because I'm only trying to contribute.</p>
<p>it said there would be too many different opinions for a majority to be tyrannical so you see i still think it was trying to persuade the anti-federalists to accept the constitution thus it was said by madison imo</p>
<p>stop talking about this stupid question.</p>
<p>what question should we talk about i agree this question is kind of tired since a bunch of us have way different opinoins</p>
<p>Also, the KEY WORD to your "ballistic missiles" question was "AFTER WWII." If they were looking for the missiles, they would have put "50's" or "cold war". But they didn't. And what was a main problem right afte WWII? The berlin blockade. We were afraid they were going to march on in and take all of Berlin and other parts of Europe.</p>
<p>Again the key word is MAJORITY- which the federalists didn't want. It wasn't until the age of jackson that politicians started caring about the common man.</p>
<p>actually i think it was the army, because didn't it say what truman thought was the greatest threat?</p>
<p>were there missles during/before 1953?</p>
