Description
Though first published in the 1700's, the timeless Federalist Papers remain a true philosophical gem even today. The Federalist Papers had the immediate pratical aim of persuading New Yorkers to accept the newly drafted Constitution in 1787. In this they were supremely successful, but their influence also transcended contemporary debate to win them a lasting place in discussions of American political theory.
