This "active commerce" in controlling trade, as opposed to "passive commerce," reflects the American spirit. This would increase the Union's ability to gain access and control the trade opportunities of the West Indies, thus allowing the Union to set prices and control all European trade in the Americas, putting the Union in a commanding position over foreign trade. Publius then moves to discuss the importance of establishing a federal navy. Publius explains that continued uneasiness will deprive the States of "active commerce." Publius then posits that a Union would counteract that problem by making prohibitory regulations that are uniform throughout the states, thus requiring foreign countries to negotiate with the Union as a whole and bid against each other for trading rights. The essay begins with Publius admitting that the "adventurous spirit" of America has already made the European countries uneasy about engaging in trade. It is titled " The Utility of the Union in Respect to Commercial Relations and a Navy".
It was published on Novemunder the pseudonym Publius, the name under which all The Federalist papers were published. 11 is an essay by Alexander Hamilton, the eleventh of The Federalist Papers.
