according to federalist 39 the constitution set up which type of government
Federalist No. 39 Federalist No. 39, "The conformity of the Plan to Republican Principles", is an essay by James Madison, the thirty-ninth of The Federalist Papers, published on January 18, 1788. Madison defines what a republican form of government is considered, which was what the nation was currently called. It also considers whether the nation is federal or national: a confederacy, or consolidation of states. At that moment the nation was considered federal and states were confederate, but they were leaning towards a national government (federal vs. national government). Madison then defines what republic means and states three rules which must apply to be considered a republic:
United States Constitution The United States Constitution is the supreme law of the United States.[1] The Constitution, originally comprising seven articles, delineates the national frame of government. Its first three articles embody the doctrine of the separation of powers, whereby the federal government is divided into three branches: the legislative, consisting of the bicameral Congress; the executive, consisting of the President; and the judicial, consisting of the Supreme Court and other federal courts. Articles Four, Five and Six embody concepts of federalism, describing the rights and responsibilities of state governments and of the states in relationship to the federal government. Article Seven establishes the procedure subsequently used by the thirteen States to ratify it. It is regarded as the oldest written and codified constitution in force of the world.[2]
