Respuesta :

Hamilton is a Federalist making a case for immediate ratification of the Constitution without any changes.

Answer: Hamilton is a Federalist making a case for immediate ratification of the Constitution without any changes.

Hamilton was a Federalist, which means that he supported the immediate ratification of the Constitution. This fact is supported by the excerpt. Hamilton argues that, if society waited until every institution of government was completely flawless and perfect, we would live in anarchy, as no institution would ever achieve that. This means that Hamilton believes the Constitution cannot be perfect either, and should be accepted along with its flaws.
