About this title

Synopsis

8.5" x 11" edition (21.59 x 27.94 cm) with small type (9-point) and three column format on cream paper.
This edition features the eighteenth-century text, with notes, synopsis, and index, as well as the Declaration of Independence, the Article of the Confederation, and the Constitution.
The Federalist Papers are a collection of 85 articles published under the pseudonym Publius during the years 1787 and 1788. They were written by three of the Constitution’s framers and ratifiers, Alexander Hamilton, John Jay and James Madison, to promote the ratification of the United States Constitution.
Milestones in political history and philosophy, the Federalist Papers are essential reading for students, lawyers, politicians, and those with an interest in the history of human rights and the foundation of the United States of America.
It has been frequently remarked, that it seems to have been reserved to the people of this country, by their conduct and example, to decide the important question, whether societies of men are really capable or not, of establishing good government from reflection and choice, or whether they are forever destined to depend, for their political constitutions, on accident and force. —Alexander Hamilton, First Paper

Review

"This country and this people seem to have been made for each other, and it appears as if it was the design of Providence, that an inheritance so proper and convenient for a band of brethren ... should never be split into a number of unsocial, jealous, and alien sovereignties." So wrote John Jay, one of the revolutionary authors of The Federalist Papers, arguing that if the United States was truly to be a single nation, its leaders would have to agree on universally binding rules of governance--in short, a constitution. In a brilliant set of essays, Jay and his colleagues Alexander Hamilton and James Madison explored in minute detail the implications of establishing a kind of rule that would engage as many citizens as possible and that would include a system of checks and balances. Their arguments proved successful in the end, and The Federalist Papers stand as key documents in the founding of the United States.
