The Federalist Papers: Interpretation of the US Constitution




In these trying times, in the United States nowadays, we are forced to take a good look at ourselves. Look deep, to find those things truly valuable to us in order for us to be able to move forward as a country. In an effort to more fully understand the founding principles, I have taken up the task of reading the Federalist Papers, essays commonly used as interpretations of the intent behind our United States Constitution. There Alexander Hamilton, John Jay and James Madison strive to explain in narratives the philosophies behind the decisions they made. I am currently on the fourth of 85 essays.. Wish me luck..

The Federalist Papers can be found here.
