The Federalist Papers

Written in 1787-1788, this collection of essays and articles written by Alexander Hamilton, John Jay and James Madison under the pseudonym Publius promotes the ratification of the United States Constitution. These documents offer an extraordinary insight into the birth of the Unites States and are often referenced today as a window into the intentions of the authors of the Constitution. The Federalist Papers are a unique and fascinating view into this most remarkable period in American history.
