The Federalist Papers

By: Alexander Hamilton, John Jay, James Madison

Narrated by: Monroe Clark McBride

The Federalist Papers were first published in 1787 in the New York press under the signature of "Publius", a psuedonym used by the three authors: John Jay, James Madison, and Alexander Hamilton. Jay was responsible for only a few of the 85 articles.

The essays appeared in book form in 1788 and are generally considered to be one of the most important contributions to political thought made in America. The papers were meant to be influential in the campaign for the adoption of the Constitution by New York state. The authors discussed many general problems of politics in addition to the issues of the Constitution.

Wow Fantastic worth the 20 hours

Reading what Hamilton JAy and Madison, had to say about the fledgling constitution while trying to get New York to sign off on it. was mind blowing I hope more people will take the time to educate themselves The contrast to some of the shallow minds in today's congress and the partisanship of the Supreme Court and the corruption of their words by groups like the federalist society is breathtaking and would have shocked and dismayed these great american thinkers Imho

Understanding The US Constitution

A must for all citizens and students of any country, particularly the USA. The Federalist Papers give a clearer understanding of reasons and arguments that established the US Constitution with definitive clarity. The value of unanimous acceptance of the document is established with knowledge that waiting for a perfect document from imperfect men will never be attained, but allowing for amendments is more reasonable. Finally, the need for a Bill of Rights is presented within the context of what various colonies have adopted as an example for the federal government.

The narrator has an excellent voice, and is clear to understand at various faster listening speeds.
