Answer 1

The answer is below

Step-by-step explanation:

Here, James Madison is trying to let the Americans understand that the powers consented to the federal government by the Constitution do not endanger the powers given to the states. This is evident when he claimed that "The powers delegated by the proposed Constitution to the federal government are few and defined. Those which are to remain in the State governments are numerous..."

Also, to further convince them, on the importance and relationship of powers the Federal and States government will have under the constitution he declared that "The operations of the federal government will be most extensive and important in times of war and danger; those of the State governments in times of peace and security."
