xxi, 222 pp. "The Federalist Papers rank with the Declaration of Independence and the Constitution itself as basic statements of American democracy and tell us in a unique fashion what the Founders had in mind as they defined the essence and form of a new government. No words better describe the birth of our nation. The 23 most relevant essays, written by John Jay, Alexander Hamilton, and James Madison, have been gathered here by historian Frederick Quinn, who describes the issues and captures the personalities in a lively introductory essay, and provides explanatory remarks for each paper."
