First published in 1788, 'The Federalist Papers' is a collection of 85 articles and essays by Alexander Hamilton, an American revolutionary, statesman, and Founding Father of the United States.
Appeared as a series of letters to New York newspapers encouraging voters to approve the proposed Constitution of the United States. Still hotly discussed and open to often contentious understandings, the arguments first presented here by three of America's greatest patriots and political theorists were created during a critical moment in our nation's history, providing readers with a running ideological commentary on the crucial issues facing democracy.
The Papers offer a detailed outline of the separation of powers and how political power has to be used within extreme limitations in order to prevent the people from having to give up their freedom and rights as citizens. Today, the Federalist Papers are as important and vital a rallying cry for freedom as ever.
