The Federalist: Or The New Constitution is a collection of essays written by Alexander Hamilton, James Madison, and John Jay in the late 18th century. The essays were originally published in newspapers to promote the ratification of the United States Constitution. The book was first published in 1911 and contains all 85 essays written by the authors. The essays cover a wide range of topics related to the Constitution, including the separation of powers, federalism, and the need for a strong central government. The Federalist is considered to be one of the most important works in American political history and is still studied and debated today. This edition includes an introduction by Charles W. Eliot, a prominent educator and president of Harvard University, providing context and insight into the significance of the essays.This scarce antiquarian book is a facsimile reprint of the old original and may contain some imperfections such as library marks and notations.
