The Federalist Papers

by: Alexander Hamilton, James Madison, & John Jay

The Federalist Papers, urging the voters of New York state to ratify the Constitution of the United States of America, appeared over a period of seven months, beginning in October 1787. This classic of American political thought was the first important interpretation of the American Constitution and the first significant analysis of modern federalism. It remains one of the most profound works ever written upon either subject, and other nations, attempting to set up republican governments to suit their own circumstances, have over the years often consulted it for guidance.
