FYI........
Federalist No. 63 is an essay by James Madison, the sixty-third of The Federalist Papers. It was first published by The New York Packet on March 1, 1788, under the pseudonym Publius, the name under which all The Federalist papers were published. Continuing what Madison began in Federalist No. 62, it is the second of two essays detailing and justifying the organization of the United States Senate. No. 63 is titled "The Senate Continued".

This essay is the last of Madison's contributions to the series. In this paper, Madison lays out more reasons for the necessity of the Senate. He argues that the Senate, a strong and the most stable member of the government, is needed to ensure lasting relations with foreign nations. He also notes that because Senators are elected to six-year terms, they will have sufficient time to be responsible for their actions.
