A conspiracy against the freedom of America, both deep and dangerous, has been formed by an infernal junto of demagogues. Our thirteen free commonwealths are to be consolidated into one despotic monarchy. ... Who can deny but the president general will be a king to all intents and purposes, and one of the most dangerous kind too—a king elected to command a standing army. Thus our laws are to be administered by this tyrant; for the whole, or at least the most important part of the executive department is put in his hands. Based on the excerpt, which statement best refutes the main argument of Federalist No. 70? A single executive will be as tyrannical as a monarch. More than one leader will lessen the executive's power. The states favor a single executive system. A larger legislature is needed to balance out a single executive's power.
