The Federalist Papers

by Alexander Hamilton, John Jay, and James Madison

The Federalist Papers (correctly known as The Federalist) are a series of 85 articles advocating the ratification of the United States Constitution. Seventy-seven of the essays were published serially in The Independent Journal and The New York Packet between October 1787 and August 1788 . A compilation of these and eight others, called The Federalist, was published in 1788 by J. and A. M’Lean.
The Federalist Papers serve as a primary source for interpretation of the Constitution, as they outline the philosophy and motivation of the proposed system of government.The authors of the Federalist Papers wanted to both influence the vote in favor of ratification and shape future interpretations of the Constitution. According to historian Richard Morris, they are an “incomparable exposition of the Constitution, a classic in political science unsurpassed in both breadth and depth by the product of any later American writer.”

After the Soviet Union fell, an army officer running for office in Russia said he wished he could afford to travel to Washington to discus the Federalist Papers with members of Congress.

As a former Congressional aide, I could only see him as a modern-day Diogenes, roaming the halls of Congress, flashlight in hand, looking for that rare legislator who was conversant with them.
