Federalist Papers

Eighty-five essays written to win ratification for the United States Constitution still set the terms for arguments about federal government. Alexander Hamilton, James Madison and John Jay wrote under a shared pseudonym to persuade a sceptical public, and the result is political argument built for ordinary readers rather than for specialists: why powers should be separated, why faction is inevitable, what a judiciary is for, and how a republic might survive its own size. This Chartwell Classics hardcover gathers the full sequence in a durable edition suited to sustained study or to a permanent place on a shelf.
