THE FEDERALIST PAPERSby Alexander Hamilton, James Madison, John Jay Brand New The Federalist Papers is a collection of political essays, three United States Founding Fathers intelligently and forcefully advocate the ratification of what became this country’s supreme law.

These essays were published anonymously in New York newspapers in 1787 and 1788, and they foresaw many of the headline-grabbing issues surrounding impeachment, corruption, bureaucracy, and regulation that we read about today.
