James Madison and Alexander Hamilton\, with the full support of George Washington\, drafted and defended the Constitution\, then sent it to the states for ratification. Their Federalist articles aimed to persuade citizens of the states that the republic would be strong enough to defend them without becoming another alien imposition of the British type. \n\n\n\n\n \n \n About the Lecturer\n\n \n \n \n\n\n\nDr. Patrick Allitt is the Cahoon Family Professor of American History at Emory University.  He was born and raised in England\, was an undergraduate at Oxford\, a PhD student at the University of California\, Berkeley\, and has taught at Emory since 1988.
