The Federalist Papers (Signet Classics)

The Federalist Papers brilliantly defended what was in its time a revolutionary charter--the Constitution of the United Stated. Written by Alexander Hamilton, James Madison, and John Jay, The Federalist Papers explain the complexities of a constitutional government--its political structure and principles based on the inherent rights of man. Scholars have long regarded this work as a milestone in political science and a classic of American political history.
