Federalist papers (sh)




formally The Federalist

Eighty-five essays on the proposed Constitution of the United States and the Nature of republican government, published in 1787-88 by Alexander Hamilton, James Madison, and John Jay in an effort to persuade voters of New York state to support ratification.

Most of the essays first appeared serially in New York newspapers; they were reprinted in Other states and then published as a book in 1788. A few of the essays were issued separately later. All were signed "Publius." They presented a masterly exposition of the federal system and the means of attaining the ideals of justice, General welfare, and the rights of individuals.
