Résumé

Résumé : "The Federalist Papers" is a collection of 85 essays advocating for the ratification of the United States Constitution. Written by Alexander Hamilton, John Jay, and James Madison under the pseudonym "Publius," these essays were published in various New York State newspapers between 1787 and 1788. The essays address the inadequacies of the Articles of Confederation and argue for a stronger central government to ensure the union's stability and prosperity. Federalist No. 1, penned by Hamilton, introduces the series by emphasizing the importance of the new Constitution for the survival and success of the United States. He warns against the dangers of disunion and the influence of factions, urging citizens to consider the Constitution based on its merits rather than personal or local interests. Federalist No. 2, written by Jay, discusses the necessity of a unified nation to protect against foreign threats and internal discord. He highlights the shared history, culture, and interests of the American people as a foundation for unity. In Federalist No. 3 and No. 4, Jay continues to argue that a strong national government is essential for maintaining peace and security, both domestically and internationally. He asserts that a united America is less likely to provoke or invite hostilities from other nations. Federalist No. 5 and No. 6, also by Jay and Hamilton respectively, further explore the dangers of division, using historical examples to illustrate the potential for conflict and instability among separate states or confederacies. The essays collectively make a compelling case for the Constitution as a means to achieve a more effective and cohesive government, capable of safeguarding liberty and promoting the general welfare.
