Summary

 * Add a note explaining that Publius is a pseudonym used by James Madison, Alexander Hamilton and John Jay.
 * It already says that Publius is the pseudonym used to write the Federalist Papers. A general description of Publius belongs on the main Federalist Papers article.
 * How many states existed at the time of writing? Maybe clarify that if relevant.
 * Not sure if it's relevant, the point is that there are several that could come into conflict with one another.
 * A standing army for each state? If so clarify that, or put in the plural as you do in the next phrase.
 * Clarified in each case whether it's a national army or state armies.
 * Comma after "invaded" and before "which". Likewise, when describing the army of a nation infrequently invaded.
 * Added.

Background and publication

 * Here you link standing army but the first instance is in the "Summary" section.
 * Fixed.

Standing army

 * The correlation is positive or negative?
 * Specified an "increase".
 * Why did the modern advancements in industry made it difficult for men to give up their occupations to go to war?
 * Switched to "obligations in industry".
 * "Conversely, he acknowledged that this expansion of industry is what allowed advancements in warfare to develop", why is that so?
 * Specified "technological advancements".
 * Comma after "describe it".
 * Not sure what this is referring to.

Geographical advantage

 * Everything seems good here.

Aftermath

 * Is valor referencing virtue ethics? If so a wikilink would be useful. (optional)
 * I don't believe it is.
