Individualism In early America was exclusively carried out at the time and valued by many. This individualism was embodied through the power of the State government which unlike the federal government embodied the true will of the people. State or local governments were constructed to adhere to the social passions of the people. The Federalist Papers constructed as the interpretation and promotion of the constitution written by the founding fathers whom produced it the stated,

"The State government will have the advantage of the Federal government [..] The State governments may be regarded as constituent and essential parts of the federal government; whilst the latter is nowise essential to the operation or organization of the former. Without the intervention of the State legislatures, the President of the United States cannot be elected at all.
