Abstract

The article presents guidelines to the Federalist Papers, which have enjoyed a special reputation as an important source of evidence of the original meaning of the U.S. Constitution. It is a series of 85 essays written by Alexander Hamilton, James Madison and John Jay. Meanwhile, Chief Justice John Marshall described it as a complete commentary of the nation's constitution and is appealed to by all parties in the questions to which that instrument has given birth.
