The Federalist Papers
What is the main idea of the Federalist Papers?
.
.
The Federalist Papers is a treatise on free government in peace and security. It is an outstanding American contribution to the literature on constitutional democracy and federalism, and it is widely considered to be a classic of Western political thought. It is, by far, the most authoritative text concerning the interpretation of the American Constitution and an insight into the framers' intent. Although Hamilton carefully outlined the contents of The Federalist Papers at the end of the first essay, in reality, he strayed a bit from his original proposition. In the end, the work of (primarily) Madison and Hamilton can be divided into two main parts. The first discusses the defects of the present government, the Articles of Confederation. The second discusses the new Constitution's components: the legislative, executive, and judicial branches.
