Now introduced by eminent civil libertarian, constitutional scholar,
and New York Times bestselling author Alan Dershowitz, The Federalist
Papers are a must-have for all scholars of history and government and
all Americans.
Widely considered to be among the most important historical collections
of all time, The Federalist Papers were intended to persuade New York
at-large delegates to the Constitutional Convention to accept the newly
drafted Constitution in 1787. Authored in parts by Hamilton, Madison,
and Jay, together as the pseudonym of Publius, the documents have been
referred to and heavily cited countless times in all aspects of American
government and politics. Together, the eighty-five Federalist essays
stand among the Constitution of the United States, the Declaration of
Independence, Common Sense, and other work by the Founding Fathers
that helped build and solidify the foundation of American democracy.
With its rich history and a new introduction from Alan Dershowitz, one
of the most prominent legal minds in the country, The Federalist
Papers will educate you on the groundwork that shaped the greatest
country in the world.
