Description

Written at a time when furious arguments were raging about one of the simplest ways to govern The usa, “The Federalist Papers” had the immediate practical aim of persuading New Yorkers to accept the newly drafted Constitution in 1787. On this they were supremely successful, but their influence also transcended recent debate to win them a lasting place in discussions of American political theory. Acclaimed by Thomas Jefferson as ‘the most efficient remark at the principles of government which ever was once written’, “The Federalist Papers” make a powerful case for power-sharing between State and Federal authorities and for a Constitution that has endured in large part unchanged for 2 hundred years.
