It also mentions the difficulty in executing measures of the Union due to the lack of support from individual states.<br /><br />## Step 3<br />The passage concludes by suggesting that the United States should abandon the Articles of Confederation to form a stronger central government. This is the overall argument that Hamilton is making in the passage.
