Classic Books Library presents this brand new edition of “The Federalist Papers”, a collection of separate essays and articles compiled in 1788 by Alexander Hamilton. Following the United States Declaration of Independence in 1776, the governing doctrines and policies of the States lacked cohesion. “The Federalist”, as it was previously known, was constructed by American statesman Alexander Hamilton, and was intended to catalyse the ratification of the United States Constitution. Hamilton recruited fellow statesmen James Madison Jr., and John Jay to write papers for the compendium, and the three are known as some of the Founding Fathers of the United States. Alexander Hamilton (c. 1755–1804) was an American lawyer, journalist and highly influential government official. He also served as a Senior Officer in the Army between 1799-1800 and founded the Federalist Party, the system that governed the nation’s finances. His contributions to the Constitution and leadership made a significant and lasting impact on the early development of the nation of the United States.

Discover how the Constitution was ratified in Massachusetts Each of the original colonies considered and weighed the proposed Constitution of 1789. Within each state, a cast of characters led the debate, identifying concerns and ultimately deciding to support or reject what became the United States Constitution. Massachusetts, as one of the most strident states in rebelling against and seceding from England, played a key role. In The Contest Over the Ratification of the Federal Constitution in the State of Massachusetts, Samuel Banister illuminates how the debate played out in New England's most influential state. Identifying arguments on both sides--and treating them fairly--Banister brings to life this vibrant historical debate that shaped how other states would respond and ultimately vote on the Constitution. Many thought ratification in Massachusetts was virtually guaranteed, but Banister's book shows that it was hardly so; there were major concerns about whether or not the new Constitution protected liberty and whether Americans were entering on a naive errand into tyrrany.
