Read the excerpt from a letter sent from James Madison to George Washington in April of 1787. Then answer the question that follows.
Conceiving that an individual independence of the States is utterly irreconcileable with their aggregate sovereignty; and that a consolidation of the whole into one simple republic would be as inexpedient as it is unattainable, I have sought for some middle ground, which may at once support a due supremacy of the national authority, and not exclude the local authorities wherever they can be subordinately useful.
Based on the excerpt and your knowledge of social studies, why did Madison believe the government created by the Articles of Confederation was ineffective? What principle of government did he feel would allow for more effective governance?
