The Federalist Papers (1787-1788) is a collection of essays and
articles by Alexander Hamilton, John Jay, and James Madison.
Written in support of the recently completed Constitutional
Convention, The Federalist Papers were intended to support the
ratification process of the new United States Constitution. When
the Constitutional Convention was completed on September 17, 1787
in Philadelphia, the newly-agreed upon Constitution was sent to the
states for ratification. As opponents of a strong centralized
government began attacking the Constitution in the press, Hamilton
recruited Jay and Madison to contribute articles and essays in
favor of Federalism to prominent journals and newspapers. Published
between October 27, 1787 and May 28, 1788, The Federalist Papers
were written by the three authors under the pseudonym
“Publius.” Although Hamilton wrote the vast majority,
Madison’s and Jay’s contributions are still seen as essential
works on the philosophy of American governance. Federalist Nos. 10
and 14, both written by Madison, are regarded as especially
significant for arguing for the possibility of effectively
governing an expansive republic. In Federalist No. 84, Hamilton
argues against adding a Bill of Rights, a proposed compromise with
Anti-Federalists that would eventually make up the first ten
Amendments to the Constitution. Other important topics introduced
or explained in The Federalist Papers include the doctrine of
judicial review, the case for a single chief executive, and the
purpose of checks and balances. With a beautifully designed cover
and professionally typeset manuscript, this edition of The
Federalist Papers is a classic of American political history
reimagined for modern readers.
