The Federalist Papers
Notebook
A series of 85 essays published in New York newspapers in 1787–1788 under the shared pen name "Publius" by Alexander Hamilton, James Madison, and John Jay to argue for ratification of the proposed United States Constitution. The essays remain the most authoritative contemporary exposition of the Constitution's design, particularly on federalism, separation of powers, and the dangers of faction. They are foundational to American constitutional interpretation.
