The Federalist Papers

Alexander Hamilton, James Madison, John Jay

The Federalist Papers is a must read for anyone interested in the origins of US government, American political values, the history of colonial America or Democracy. Alexander Hamilton, James Madison, and John Jay authored the 85 part piece as letters to the editor to gain public support for the new consititution.

Originally published anonymously, The Federalist Papers first appeared in 1787 as a series of letters to New York newspapers exhorting voters to ratify the proposed Constitution of the United States. Still hotly debated, and open to often controversial interpretations, the arguments first presented here by three of America’s greatest political theorists were formed during a critical moment in a nation’s history, providing readers with a running ideological commentary on the crucial issues facing democracy.
