Alexander Hamilton (1755 - 1804) is considered one of America's founding fathers. He is an important literary figure, with the publication of The Federalist Papers (1788) and his letters.
Chief Justice John Marshall would call the Federalist Papers the "complete commentary on our constitution." Here, Professor Guelzo explains the daring act of aggression these landmark political writings were, and outlines the six themes Hamilton (under the pseudonym "Publius") believed would demonstrate the indispensability of the new constitution.
