Excerpt from The Federalist: A Commentary on the Constitution of the United StatesWithin the borders of New York, and among her members, had originated the greater number of the measures which had led to the War of the Revolution and, inspired by her example, and encouraged by her success, - not unfrequently, also, directed by her popular leaders, - her twelve associates had learned, at an early date, to look to her as to a leader, in the assertion of their own political rights, as well as in the more decided opposition which, from time to time, they had made to the representatives and to the measures of the sovereign.In the protracted struggle for independence which had ensued, her inhabitants had suffered more from the enemy, and during a longer period, than those of any other State; and her territory - which had been held by the Sovereign of Great Britain from an early day, by right of conquest - was the last which had been abandoned by the royal forces,-nor, even then, had it been fully and formally surrendered, in the mode which had been prescribed by the military usage of that day.About the PublisherForgotten Books publishes hundreds of thousands of rare and classic books.

The Federalist is the clearest insight into what the Founding Fathers really meant. This special volume is taken from the rare 1864 edition edited by John Church Hamilton, Alexander Hamilton's son. It includes a number of Hamiltonian documents, including his "Continentalist" essays, which served as a precursor to The Federalist, as well as his plan for the new government.

The Federalist, more commonly known as The Federalist Papers, is a series of 85 essays written by Alexander Hamilton, John Jay, and James Madison in 1787 and 1788. The essays were originally published anonymously, under the pseudonym Publius, in several newspapers in New York. The Federalist Papers were written and published to urge Americans to ratify the newly proposed United States Constitution, which had been drafted in Philadelphia in the summer of 1787. In lobbying for the adoption of the Constitution over the existing Articles of Confederation, Hamilton and his co-contributors explained each specific provision of the Constitution in detail. For this reason, and because Hamilton and Madison were both members of the Constitutional Convention, the Federalist Papers are often cited today to help interpret the intentions of those who drafted the Constitution. Because of its original anonymous publication, the assignment of authorship, along with the numbering and exact wording of the text may vary with different editions of The Federalist. The text of The Federalist compiled here draws on several available versions to present the modern reader with the most complete and authentic version available.
