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.
