  • Federalist No. 69 is an essay by Alexander Hamilton, the sixty-ninth of The Federalist Papers. It was published on March 14, 1788 under the pseudonym Publius, under which all The Federalist papers were published. The title is "The Real Character of the Executive", and is the third in a series of 11 essays discussing the powers and limitations of the Executive branch in response to the Anti-Federalist Papers, and in comparison to the King of England's powers.
    In Federalist No. 69, Alexander Hamilton sought to explain the nature of the executive branch in order to address fears that the President would function as an elected monarch, the primary concern of Anti-Federalists. The memory of British oppression was fresh in the mind of Anti-Federalists, and they were not ready to accept any new government that would resemble the English form of government.
    Specifically, Hamilton "explained that the president's authority 'would be nominally the same with that of the King of Great Britain, but in substance much inferior to it. It would amount to nothing more than the supreme command and direction of the military and naval forces, as first general and admiral of the confederacy'"
