Read and proudly display the map of American democracy with this stunning, rare edition featuring gilded edges and a faux-leather cover with gold details. Written by Alexander Hamilton, John Jay, and James Madison between October 1787 and May 1788, and anonymously published in May 1788, The Federalist Papers include a series of 85 essays supporting the ratification of the proposed United States Constitution.
