Alexander Hamilton

Federalist (eBook, PDF)

With Letters of Brutus

• Format: PDF

Produktbeschreibung

The Federalist represents one side of one of the most momentous political debates ever conducted: whether to ratify, or to reject, the newly-drafted American constitution. To understand the debate properly requires attention to opposing Antifederalist arguments against the Constitution, and this new and authoritative student-friendly edition presents in full all eighty-five Federalist papers written by the pseudonymous 'Publius' (Hamilton, Madison, and Jay), along with the sixteen letters of 'Brutus', the prominent but still unknown New York Antifederalist who was Publius's most formidable foe. Each is systematically cross-referenced to the other, and both to the appended Articles of Confederation and US Constitution, making the reader acutely aware of the cut-and-thrust of debate in progress. The distinguished political theorist Terence Ball provides all of the standard series editorial features, including brief biographies and notes for further reading, making this the most accessible rendition ever of a classic of political thought in action.

Autorenporträt

Alexander Hamilton was a Founding Father and the first Secretary of the Treasury of the United States. Born in the Caribbean, he immigrated to the colonies, joining the Revolutionary War and later playing a critical role in drafting the Constitution. As a co-author of The Federalist Papers, he advocated for a strong federal government and laid the foundations of the U.S. financial system. Hamilton's vision for a centralized economy and national bank significantly shaped American governance.
