It is the opinion of the greatest writers, that a very extensive country cannot be governed on democratically principles, on any other plan, than a confederation of a number of small republics, possessing all the powers of internal government, but united in the management of their foreign and general concerns. according to this quote, which issue would make ruling too hard for the government under the constitution?

Instead of being thirteen republics, under a federal head, [the federalists’ plan] is clearly designed to make us one [unified] government. . whether such a change can ever be [made] in any manner; whether it can be [made] without convulsions and civil wars; whether such a change will not totally destroy the liberties of this country—time only can determine. –the federal farmer what best summarizes the point of view the excerpt expresses? in time, one unified government will run the country. the federalists prefer thirteen republics to one unified government. one unified government probably will not lead to disruptions and civil wars. under one unified government, people will be robbed of their freedoms.
