The Federalist Papers

Proudly read and display the blueprint for American democracy with this stunning, unabridged edition featuring sprayed edges and a foil-embossed faux-leather cover.

Written by Alexander Hamilton, John Jay, and James Madison between October 1787 and May 1788 and published anonymously in May 1788, The Federalist Papers presents a series of 85 essays advocating for the ratification of the newly proposed United States Constitution. As Madison and Hamilton were both members of the Constitutional Convention, this collection of essays is used today to further illuminate the intentions of the Constitution, as it was drafted. The essays cover a wide variety of topics, including foreign affairs, relationships between states, preserving the union, commercial interests and the economy, and more.
