Opis

Aside from the authors of the Federalist Papers, there were many others writing cogently for the ratification of the new United States Constitution. This is a collection of 49 Federalist writings, including pieces by George Washington, Tench Coxe and Benjamin Franklin. Separately they address the underlying themes of the historic Federalist-anti-Federalist debate: The Necessity of Union, Energetic but Limited Government and Popular Government and Civic Virtue.
