The Federalist Papers, by Alexander Hamilton, James Madison and John Jay
This is the collection of 84 historic essays published in New York newspapers in 1787-1788 in support of the Constitution. These arguments helped obtain ratification of the Constitution by the thirteen states, and this is regarded as the best evidence of the intent and meaning of the original U. S. Constitution. Reading and understand these essays is difficult even for college students. Nevertheless, the book continues to be one of the foundations of our current Constitution, our political system, and our judicial system. (Paperback, $10.49.)
