Federalist Paper No. 10

In 1787, the advocates of federalism began to attack their opponents by writing a series of essays, 85 of them published and whose main agenda was to justify the quest for federalism. Among the writers of these letters, commonly referred to as the Federalist Papers was James Madison who among other essays wrote one of the most popular among the federalist papers, Federalist Paper Number 10. It first appeared in the Daily Advertiser on Fridaya series of essays whose main agenda was attacking the opponents of federalism. Among the essays, commonly referred to as the Federalist Papers(but which included other essays and letters written by Alexander Hamilton and John Hay) were published on Friday, November 22, 1787 and wasin a series of essays (1724-1804) introduced his theory of morals, commonly referred to as Kant’s Moral System, in The Grounding for the Metaphysics of Morals (1785). In this philosophical work, Kant tries to develop a moral concept that is entirely dependent on the basic concept of reason. Moral concepts are applicable universally, regardless of factors such as culture and civilization among others. Therefore, in his theory of ethics, Kant seeks to give a clear understanding of the morals, devoid of any abstractions.

As adduced, the universal nature of morals overrides the particulars of actions. They are not judged in consideration with the certain circumstantial or specific conditions that exist prior to the actions but are tenets or laws that hold irrespective of the conditions that abound. He suggests that to discover good or bad, one needn’t look into the end result of an action, or whoever was doing the action in order to judge it. Therefore through reason, he intimates that all rational beings could tell objectively what was morally right or wrong.

In his theory, Kant introduces the concepts, Categorical Imperatives (CIs) and Hypothetical Imperatives (HIs).
