Alexander Hamilton, author of Federalist No. 6

Federalist No. 6, titled "Concerning Dangers from Dissensions Between the States", is a political essay written by Alexander Hamilton and the sixth of The Federalist Papers. It was first published in the Independent Journal on November 14, 1787, under the pseudonym Publius, the name under which all The Federalist Papers were published. It is one of two essays by Hamilton advocating political union against those who believed that states, or confederations of multiple states could peacefully coexist. Hamilton argued that natural rivalries and competition could lead to war between the states. This argument continues in Federalist No. 7.
