Product Description:
This book is part of the ABA Classics Series. These authoritative, affordable, and beautifully designed editions of the world's greatest law books are perfect for any law office or as a gift for anyone involved or interested in the law. This volume of the ABA Classics Series is written by founding fathers' James Madison, Alexander Hamilton and John Jay with the goal of persuading New Yorkers to accept the newly drafted United States Constitution.

Amazon.com Review:
"This country and this people seem to have been made for each other, and it appears as if it was the design of Providence, that an inheritance so proper and convenient for a band of brethren ... should never be split into a number of unsocial, jealous, and alien sovereignties." So wrote John Jay, one of the revolutionary authors of The Federalist Papers, arguing that if the United States was truly to be a single nation, its leaders would have to agree on universally binding rules of governance--in short, a constitution. In a brilliant set of essays, Jay and his colleagues Alexander Hamilton and James Madison explored in minute detail the implications of establishing a kind of rule that would engage as many citizens as possible and that would include a system of checks and balances. Their arguments proved successful in the end, and The Federalist Papers stand as key documents in the founding of the United States.
