It is the outstanding American contribution to the literature on constitutional democracy and federalism, and a classic of Western political thought.The Federalist Papers were written in support of the ratification of the Constitution. While modern-day readers might see it as inevitable, the Constitution was a revolutionary step. In Philadelphia, the delegates rebelled against the existing Articles of Confederation and looked to the states, not the existing government, for ratification and approval of the new government. Because of the revolutionary nature of the new Constitution, arguments were necessary to rationalize it as a response to new emergencies. After the convention, Tench Coxe became the coordinator in Philadelphia for those who supported the Constitution, while George Mason became the coordinator for New York for those who opposed it. Hundreds and hundreds of letters were written regarding the Constitution; "Cato" and "The Federal Farmer" attacked while "Caeser" replied. Both George Washington and Ben Franklin, probably the two most influential men in the country at the time, supported the Constitution.CONDITION: Book is in FANTASTIC condition for its age with only few minor rubs to the gilt page ends and a few minor rubs to the edges of boards from shelfwear (SEE PICS FOR FURTHER DETAILS).
