The Federalist Papers
About this book
"The Federalist Papers" by Alexander Hamilton, John Jay, and James Madison is a collection of 85 essays written between 1787-1788. Published under the pseudonym "Publius," these articles aimed to persuade New York voters to ratify the newly proposed Constitution. The essays tackle fundamental questions about republican government, from preventing majority tyranny to establishing checks and balances. They explore federalism, judicial review, and executive power—arguments that would shape American constitutional interpretation for centuries. Historian Richard B. Morris called them an "incomparable exposition of the Constitution, a classic in political science unsurpassed."
