Originally published anonymously, The Federalist Papers first appeared in 1787 as a series of letters to New York newspapers exhorting voters to ratify the proposed Constitution of the United States. Still hotly debated and open to often controversial interpretations, the arguments first presented here by three of America's greatest patriots and political theorists were created during a critical moment in our nation's history, providing readers with a running ideological commentary on the crucial issues facing a democracy. Today, The Federalist Papers are as important and vital a rallying cry for freedom as ever.

The Federalist Papers are some 85 essays on behalf of a central federal government and the then pending Constitution, and replacement of the Articles of Confederation. The arguments were written by Alexander Hamilton, James Madison and John Jay promoting the ratification of the United States Constitution. The articles appeared in popular publications then selling in New York, and were printed one at a time over the course of a year. This is a deep study into political theory; how best to organize and optimize the United States. I remember seeing a full set of the Federalist Papers in my High School Library. They were beautiful and the librarian told me they contain the basis for our style of government. It intrigued me to have the opportunity to read our founding father’s thoughts. Nevertheless it took me decades to get around to the actual read (but in the meantime I studied Political Science in college as my major).

Read it if you have a commitment to mastering political theory, the history of our government or need to argue before the Supreme Court on a constitutional issue and then expect to read it twice more to begin to master its teaching. It is studious, artful and masterful – we had some brilliant forefathers. Yet it is a dreary read. (You can whispersync your reading by listening to it on Kindle as the words run across the screen. I found that to be a better way to become more involved with the arguments and the very distinct verbiage being used by Hamilton, Madison and Jay.)

Once read it gives you a looking glass through which you can better understand the reasons for the expansion of the United States, the conflict between the states, the debate on federal needs versus state’s rights, interstate commerce, the place of the Federal Reserve, and generally the issues behind our national debates on politics continuing into today.

In addition to laying out the framework of our modern government, the three authors of the Federalist Papers clearly had a deep understanding of history and the pitfalls suffered by governments of the past. Their knowledge and wisdom is fascinating in explaining their reasons in calculating what our fledgling nation needed in the early shaping of our nation and society.

Indispensable for any citizen

A must read for those who are trying to decipher where the minds of the time were at when the Constitution was being written and debated. This was obviously compiled with a singular argument in mind, so to expect the counter points (though those are presented sporadically) would have been a nicety, but you shouldn’t read here for those.

Must read/hear for any with a mind toward freedom

Here are the answers to arguments against the ratification of the constitution. What better way to understand the intents and meaning of the constitution, than to here the arguments in favor of its enactment, by several of the most influential members of the convention.

I’m not sure what’s hard to read Shakespeare or Hamilton. Definitely both are reading but take a lot of effort. ChatGPT is probably your best friend to help translate 18th century English into modern prose

Timeless and dense

Hamilton is one of the most wordy writers I have ever encountered. John Jay is much better, but writes very little. Madison is somewhere in between. In all, it is full of legal jargon and obscure references to current events… Yet there is something in it that is nevertheless timeless. The arguments for union and for federalism have never been, I believe, so eloquently articulated.

Incredibly boring, but very important

From great minds come incredible wisdom as in the The Federalist Papers. However, when to much of anyone thing is over played as we see in our government today, I do not believe Hamilton, Madison are Jay would have approved. Very edifying read!

Excellent
