Description
Introduction · · · · · ·
In the more than two hundred years since its promulgation, the U.S. Constitution has not changed except for the twenty-seven amendments, but it has always been the foundation of the existence of the United States.
In 1787, the famous Constitutional Convention in American history was held, which drafted and passed a new constitution. The new constitution had to be approved by the representative conferences of 13 states. Once 9 states agreed, the constitution would take effect. However, during the discussion, various voices of support and opposition were heard, and the most intense debate in American history took place. The Federalist Papers was the product of this debate and a work that fully defended the new constitution. On the one hand, it refuted the opposition's criticism of the new constitution, and on the other hand, it expounded the basic principles of the US Constitution and the operating model of the US federal system.
The Federalist Papers, 88 Books That Shaped America, includes 85 essays, which were published by three authors under the pseudonym Publius in New York newspapers. The Federalist Papers had a profound impact on the formulation of the constitutions of some countries, and is also an important source of information for people today to study the U.S. Constitution and political system. Later American judges often cited this book to interpret the Constitution.
