Written in support of the recently completed Constitutional Convention, \u003ci\u003eThe Federalist Papers\u003c\/i\u003e were intended to support the ratification process of the new United States Constitution.\u003c\/p\u003e \u003cp\u003eWhen the Constitutional Convention was completed on September 17, 1787 in Philadelphia, the newly-agreed upon Constitution was sent to the states for ratification. As opponents of a strong centralized government began attacking the Constitution in the press, Hamilton recruited Jay and Madison to contribute articles and essays in favor of Federalism to prominent journals and newspapers. Published between October 27, 1787 and May 28, 1788, \u003ci\u003eThe Federalist Papers\u003c\/i\u003e were written by the three authors under the pseudonym \"Publius.\" Although Hamilton wrote the vast majority, Madison's and Jay's contributions are still seen as essential works on the philosophy of American governance. Federalist Nos. 10 and 14, both written by Madison, are regarded as especially significant for arguing for the possibility of effectively governing an expansive republic. In Federalist No. 84, Hamilton argues against adding a Bill of Rights, a proposed compromise with Anti-Federalists that would eventually make up the first ten Amendments to the Constitution. Other important topics introduced or explained in \u003ci\u003eThe Federalist Papers\u003c\/i\u003e include the doctrine of judicial review, the case for a single chief executive, and the purpose of checks and balances.\u003c\/p\u003e \u003cp\u003eWith a beautifully designed cover and professionally typeset manuscript, this edition of \u003ci\u003eThe Federalist Papers\u003c\/i\u003e is a classic of American political history reimagined for modern readers.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003ch3\u003eBack Jacket\u003c\/h3\u003e\u003cp\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003eWritten by Alexander Hamilton, John Jay, and James Madison, these articles and essays were intended to encourage the ratification of the newly created United States Constitution.
