The series of essays that comprise 'The Federalist' constitutes one of the key texts of the American Revolution and the democratic system created in the wake of independence. Written in 1787 and 1788 to promote the ratification of the proposed Constitution, these papers stand as perhaps the most eloquent testimonial to democracy that exists. They describe the ideas behind the American system of government; the separation of powers; the organisation of Congress; the respective positions of the executive, legislative, and judiciary; and much more.
This new edition of 'The Federalist' is edited by Robert Scigliano, a professor in the political science department at Boston College.
