3,8%; pass.

Lead

Everything looks good, I would only suggest to add a sentence or two about the aftermath.
- Done.

Summary

Add a note explaining that Publius is a pseudonym used by James Madison, Alexander Hamilton and John Jay.
- It already says that Publius is the pseudonym used to write the Federalist Papers. A general description of Publius belongs on the main Federalist Papers article.
How many states existed at the time of writing? Maybe clarify that if relevant.
- Not sure if it's relevant, the point is that there are several that could come into conflict with one another.
A standing army for each state? If so clarify that, or put in the plural as you do in the next phrase.
- Clarified in each case whether it's a national army or state armies.
Comma after "invaded" and before "which". Likewise, when describing the army of a nation infrequently invaded.
- Added.

Background and publication

Here you link standing army but the first instance is in the "Summary" section.
- Fixed.

Analysis

Standing army

The correlation is positive or negative?
- Specified an "increase".
Why did the modern advancements in industry made it difficult for men to give up their occupations to go to war?
- Switched to "obligations in industry".
"Conversely, he acknowledged that this expansion of industry is what allowed advancements in warfare to develop", why is that so?
- Specified "technological advancements".
Comma after "describe it".
- Not sure what this is referring to.

Geographical advantage

Everything seems good here.

Aftermath

Is valor referencing virtue ethics? If so a wikilink would be useful. (optional)
- I don't believe it is.
