The Federalist Papers

The Federalist Papers are by Alexander Hamilton, John Jay, and James Madison. A must read for anyone who wishes to understand the Founding Father's ideas for our form of government. These were articles published in various newspapers to persuade states to ratify the Constitution. There is no better way to understand the separation of powers, the reasoning for three branches of government and their purposes, and our entire system of government.
