of the new Constitution penned by such ardent defenders of states'
rights and personal liberty as George Mason, Patrick Henry, and

Federalist Papers by Alexander Hamilton, James Madison, and John
Jay. The texts of the chief constitutional documents of the early

Federalist, the classic elaboration of these principles written in
defense of a new Constitution that sought to apply them to the
young Republic.

Now introduced by eminent civil libertarian, constitutional
scholar, and New York Times bestselling author Alan Dershowitz, The
Federalist Papers are a must-have for all scholars of history and
government and all Americans. Widely considered to be among the
most important historical collections of all time, The Federalist
Papers were intended to persuade New York at-large delegates to the
Constitutional Convention to accept the newly drafted Constitution
in 1787. Authored in parts by Hamilton, Madison, and Jay, together
as the pseudonym of Publius, the documents have been referred to
and heavily cited countless times in all aspects of American
government and politics. Together, the eighty-five Federalist
essays stand among the Constitution of the United States, the
Declaration of Independence, Common Sense, and other work by the
Founding Fathers that helped build and solidify the foundation of
American democracy. With its rich history and a new introduction
from Alan Dershowitz, one of the most prominent legal minds in the
country, The Federalist Papers will educate you on the groundwork
that shaped the greatest country in the world.
The Federalist represents one side of one of the most momentous political debates ever conducted: whether to ratify, or to reject, the newly drafted American constitution. This authoritative new edition presents complete texts for all of the eighty-five Federalist papers, along with the sixteen letters of "Brutus", the unknown New York Antifederalist. Each paper is systematically cross-referenced to the other, and both to the appended Articles of Confederation and U.S. Constitution. Terence Ball's editing skills enhance the accessibility of a classic of political thought in action.

Three of the founding fathers defend their revolutionary
charter--the Constitution of the United States--in these essays.
Based on the original McLean edition of 1788, this edition includes
copies of the Declaration of Independence and Articles of
Confederation. Original.
Here, in a single volume, is a selection of the classic critiques
of the new Constitution penned by such ardent defenders of states'
rights and personal liberty as George Mason, Patrick Henry, and
Melancton Smith; pro-Constitution writings by James Wilson and Noah
Webster; and thirty-three of the best-known and most crucial
Federalist Papers by Alexander Hamilton, James Madison, and John
Jay. The texts of the chief constitutional documents of the early
Republic are included as well. David Wootton's illuminating
Introduction examines the history of such American principles of
government as checks and balances, the separation of powers,
representation by election, and judicial independence-including
their roots in the largely Scottish, English, and French new
science of politics. It also offers suggestions for reading The
Federalist, the classic elaboration of these principles written in
defense of a new Constitution that sought to apply them to the
young Republic.
The Federalist Papers serve as a primary source for interpretation
of the Constitution, as they outline the philosophy and motivation
of the proposed system of government. The authors of the Federalist
Papers wanted to both influence the vote in favor of ratification
and shape future interpretations of the Constitution. According to
historian Richard B. Morris, they are an "incomparable exposition
of the Constitution, a classic in political science unsurpassed in
both breadth and depth by the product of any later American
writer." The Federalist Papers consists of 85 articles advocating
the ratification of the United States Constitution. Seventy-seven
of the essays were published serially in The Independent Journal
and The New York Packet between October 1787 and August 1788. This
edition also includes the Deceleration of Independence and the
Articles of Confederation.
THE FEDERALIST PAPERS Read the latest edition of an American
classic: The Federalist Papers. Including all 85 original articles
arguing on behalf of the United States Constitution, The Federalist
Papers is a "must read" for any history buff, anyone interested in
political science, and for those interested in issues relating to
individual vs. governmental rights. Famous authors include:
Alexander Hamilton, James Madison and John Jay. Though first
published in the 1700's, the timeless Federalist Papers remain a
true philosophical gem even today. THE ANTI-FEDERALIST PAPERS
Experience history come alive as you read the powerful political
debates concerning the birth of the United States Constitution in
the "The Anti-Federalist Papers," a compilation of articles by the
passionate nay-sayers of centralized government. Including famous
Anti-Federalist authors such as Patrick Henry, "Cato," and
"Brutus," the political forum herein presented captures not only
the ambiance of the 1700's, but these classic debates concerning
individual rights and freedom are relevant to us still today.
Presents the story of the author's contact with a 'dead' physicist
after he fell into a trance state spontaneously some six months
after his colleague suffered a fatal heart attack in Alabama. This
work offers insights from the simplistic optimism of New Age
writers through a deep sense of 'knowing'.

No competing edition of The Federalist offers nearly as much help
in grasping Publius' arguments in defense of the new but unratified
United States Constitution of 1787 as this new annotated edition by
J. R. Pole. Essay by essay--with ample cross-references and glosses
on 18th-century linguistic usage--Pole's commentary lays bare the
intellectual background and assumptions of Alexander Hamilton,
James Madison, and John Jay; explicates and critiques The
Federalist's central concepts, rhetorical strategies, and
arguments; and points up the international, national, and local
facts on the ground relevant to Confederation Era New Yorkers, the
constituency to which The Federalist was originally addressed.
Pole's Introduction, a brief chronology of political events from
1688 to 1791, a brief overview of the themes of the essays, the
text of the Constitution cross-referenced to The Federalist , and
an index of proper names, concepts, and themes that also functions
as a glossary further distinguish this edition.
"The best commentary on the principles of government which ever
was written" - Thomas Jefferson
Penguin presents a series of six portable, accessible, and--above
all--essential reads from American political history, selected by
leading scholars. Series editor Richard Beeman, author of "The
Penguin Guide to the U.S. Constitution," draws together the great
texts of American civic life to create a timely and informative
mini-library of perennially vital issues. Whether readers are
encountering these classic writings for the first time, or brushing
up in anticipation of the 50th anniversary of the Civil Rights Act,
these slim volumes will serve as a powerful and illuminating
resource for scholars, students, and civic-minded citizens.
Written at a time when furious arguments were raging about the
best way to govern America, "The Federalist Papers "had the
immediate practical aim of persuading New Yorkers to accept the
newly drafted Constitution in 1787. In this they were supremely
successful, but their influence also transcended contemporary
debate to win them a lasting place in discussions of American
political theory. "The Federalist Papers "make a powerful case for
power-sharing between State and Federal authorities and have only
risen in legal influence over the last two centuries. Beeman's
analysis helps clarify the goals, at once separate and in concert,
of Madison, Hamilton, and Jay during their writing, and his
selections show the array of issues--both philosophical and
policy-specific--covered by this body of work.
