One of the most renowned works in the Thrift Editions collection is The Federalist Papers, a compilation of eighty-five articles that explain and defend the ideals behind the highest form of law in the United States of America. Thomas Jefferson hailed The Federalist Papers as the best commentary ever written about the principles of government.

The Federalist Papers were composed by three of the Constitution's framers and ratifiers: Alexander Hamilton, the first Secretary of the Treasury; John Jay, the first Chief Justice of the United States; and James Madison, the father of the Constitution, author of the Bill of Rights, and the fourth President of the United States. Considered a keystone of American democracy, the articles address critical topics such as the dangers from foreign arms and influence, the need for a federal government able to raise revenues through taxation, and the power of the Senate to sit as a court for Impeachments.

Whether you're a student, a lawyer, a politician, or someone with a general interest in the foundation of U.S. government and law, The Federalist Papers is an enduring classic of political philosophy and a milestone in political science. The Thrift Editions make this invaluable resource accessible to a wide audience, offering exceptional value and a compelling reading experience.
