The Federalist Papers


In some versions of The Papers Hamilton's introduction is considered the first federalist paper. I think Brent's version doesn't count the introduction, so Brent, you'll have to do math accordingly.

Let's read Federalsit Papers, 1,8,10,15,41,51,54,62,68,69,70,84,85.

Happy Reading!
