The Federalist Papers is a collection of eighty-five essays written by the Founding Fathers Alexander Hamilton, James Madison, and John Jay from 1787 to 1788. This collection was published as a means to persuade the public to ratify the Constitution of the United States.

Hailed by Thomas Jefferson as “the best commentary on the principles of government which was ever written,” this enduring classic is perfect for modern audiences passionate about Hamilton's work or seeking a deeper understanding of one of the most important documents in US history.

With nearly two-thirds of the essays written by Hamilton, The Federalist Papers offers an indispensable guide to the intentions of the founding fathers who created the United States. It stands as a canonical text in the development of western political thought.
