| Summary |
Jack Rakove presents the most crucial and frequently studied federalist essays, published in 1787 and 1788 supporting the ratification of the Constitution, with an introduction to contemporary scholarly thinking about the Constitution and the role these essays played in its adoption. |
|
Rakove's introduction compresses an incredible amount of material into a coherent, accessible essay that identifies the major themes, people, and events of the constitutional period and sets them in context. Rakove not only synthesizes the most recent scholarship but presents original insights that are worthy of discussion in themselves. |
