The Federalist by George Carey

The Federalist by George Carey

The Federalist by Alexander Hamilton, James Madison, and John Jay constitutes a text central to the American political tradition. Written and published in newspapers in 1787 and 1788 to explain and promote ratification of the proposed Constitution for the United States, which were then bound by the Articles of Confederation, The Federalist remains of singular importance to students of liberty around the world. The Liberty Fund edition of Federalist includes a new introduction notes to The Federalist, a glossary, and the entirety of the Articles of Confederation, the Declaration of Independence, and the United States Constitution. Adjoining the text of the Constitution are cross-references linking provisions of the Constitution to the pertinent passages in The Federalist that address the specific term, phrase, section, or article within the Constitution.

John Jay (1745-1829) was a lawyer who rose to prominence as a strong patriot. He was the first Chief Justice of the United States and served as a minister to Spain. In 1795, he served on the Supreme Court and negotiated the Treaty of Paris between the United States and the United Kingdom.
