The Federalist Papers
The Federalist Papers consist of 85 articles and essays written by Americans Alexander Hamilton, James Madison and John Jay promoting the ratification of the United States Constitution. Seventy-seven articles were published in The Independent Journal and The New York Packet between 1787 and 1788.
Though the authors of The Federalist Papers wished to influence America's vote to ratify the Constitution, in Federalist No 1 they set the debate in broader terms. At the time of publication, the authorship of the articles was unknown, although observers soon discovered the identities of Hamilton, Madison, and Jay.
The authors used the pseudonym PUBLIS in honor of Roman consult Publius Valerius Publicola, one of four Roman aristocrats who led the overthrow of the monarchy, and became a Roman consul, the colleague of Lucius Junius Brutus in 509 BC, traditionally considered the first year of the Roman Republic.

This Kindle edition also includes a fully hyper-linked collection of Inaugural addresses from George Washington to Barack Obama, with notes on U.S. Presidents who were not inaugurated.
