The Federalist Papers

The Federalist Papers are a collection of newspaper editorials written anonymously by Alexander Hamilton, John Jay, and James Madison that argue for the ratification of the United States Constitution in the State of New York. These essays showcase the underlying framework of the Constitution and attempt to dissuade anti-Federalist sentiments. These papers were crucial for the Constitution's ratification and have stood the test of time to still have political and governmental implications today. In this edition, illustrations have been added to bring the Revolutionary era to life.
