Good evening, I will be performing this review shortly. It will largely be based on the review for and content of No. 6, and after a preliminary skim I don't foresee any major issues arising. Fritzmann (message me) 23:57, 28 August 2023 (UTC)

Review

 * "Though war is no longer recognized as a significant possibility" the present tense in this sentence makes it somewhat confusing
 * Clarified.
 * The article states when the paper was published, do we know when Hamilton actually wrote it?
 * I've never seen a mention of it for any of the papers. They wrote them anonymously, so it makes sense that this wouldn't be available.
 * Would a map illustrating the states and the undeveloped west be warranted?
 * I looked for one, but I didn't see anything helpful on Commons.
 * "...exacerbate tensions between the states, in Hamilton's opinion, should there be no federal government." is rather clunky
 * Reworded
 * "Articles of Confederation was" were?
 * Fixed
 * "The resolutions of these disputes in court brought animosity between the states" I think this could use just a quick word of elaboration
 * Reworded
 * "when there is no moderating centralized force derives from ideas of the Thomas Hobbes." ce
 * Reworded
 * The pivot from describing the influence of Hobbes to Montesquieu could be made more smooth, perhaps tying to a more central idea for the paragraph.
 * Threw a "likewise" in there.
 * Did this particular Federalist paper garner any responses? Or influence any later texts/essays?
 * None that came up in the sources I read or through Ebsco and Google Scholar searches. I also check for mentions in Supreme Court cases, and none there either. The Anti-Federalist Papers argued against the main points of the Federalist Papers in general, but I've been unable to find any sources that make a one-to-one comparison with individual Federalist Papers. I would love to expand on the aftermath sections of these articles, but I'm out of ideas on where to look.


 * References spotchecked:
 * 1, claim about persuasion supported
 * 2, publication dates accurate
 * 3d, no access but AGF
 * 4f, does discuss Engagements Clause
 * 6b, mentions how Hobbes inspired Hamilton, reasonable adaptation into article
 * No issues from Earwig with a maximum score of 13%, almost all of which is the essay title

Summary
Just a few questions to address, no need to incorporate all of them I'd just like to hear reasoning if you opt not to. Once those few things are taken care of I have no qualms promoting this, it is of similar quality to the other Federalist Paper GAs. Fritzmann (message me) 00:30, 29 August 2023 (UTC)
