Notable that both Hamilton and Madison both later went against some principles espoused in the Fed Papers, Hamilton in his support for a national bank that overreached the constitution and Madison in his support for the Virginia and Kentucky resolutions, which proposed states’ nullification of federal laws.
- calgarymicro 3y agoFor Madison it was entirely a matter of political experience, so he later tried to row back on this quite a bit during the nullification crisis; specifically, he stated[0] that what VA had done was 'interpose' itself between the Federal Government and its citizens in concert with other states, and that it wasn't actually nullification at all. Whether this was what he actually thought, or instead just an attempt to justify his earlier support for the VA and KY resolutions, is for the historians to decide, I guess.
