Federalist Papers: No. 1 General Introduction
For the Independent Journal
Author: Alexander Hamilton
To the People of the State of New York:
This idea will add the inducements of philanthropy to those of patriotism, to heighten the solicitude which all considerate and good men must feel for the event.
Happy will it be if our choice should be directed by a judicious estimate of our true interests, unperplexed and unbiased by considerations not connected with the
public good. But this is a thing more ardently to be wished than seriously to be expected. The plan offered to our deliberations affects too many particular interests,
innovates upon too many local institutions, not to involve in its dluscussion a variety of objects foreign to its merits, and of views, passions and prejudices little
favorable to the discovery of truth.

According to Hamilton, what is "a thing more ardently to be wished than seriously to be expected"?

A The inducements of philanthropy

B Solicitude which all considerate and good men must feel

C The event
