The Federalist Papers - Ep.13 Other Defects of the Present Confederation

The Federalist Papers are a collection of 85 essays written by Alexander Hamilton, James Madison, and John Jay. They were published between 1787 and 1788 under the pseudonym "Publius" and aimed to promote the ratification of the United States Constitution. The essays explored the principles and benefits of a strong central government, addressed concerns about the proposed Constitution, and provided arguments against the Anti-Federalists' objections. The Federalist Papers remain a significant resource for understanding the intentions and debates surrounding the creation of the American government.
