About The Federalist Papers

The Federalist Papers are a series of 85 articles written in support of the new U.S. constitution which replaced the very flawed Articles of Confederation. Published under pseudonyms, authors Alexander Hamilton, James Madison, and John Jay spelled out the reasons why the new constitution should be ratified. According to historian Richard B. Morris, they are an "incomparable exposition of the Constitution, a classic in political science unsurpassed in both breadth and depth by the product of any later American writer."

The Federalist Papers are a natural choice for inclusion in the American DNA section of the 'United States Constitution' app found in the Android Market. I did not include it because it would have doubled the size of the that app and I want to maintain a little size discipline, so to speak. So after many request I created 'The Federalist Papers'. It's not annotated like the Constitution, but it does contain a search feature which should make personal analysis a little easier. I'll be making improvements as I go of course, so for now here you go.

Should be required reading for every American. So many people are always indignantly asserting their "Constitutional rights" yet almost none of them has a clue as to what those rights really are, much less what's even in that document. Sadly, those folks wouldn't get it even if they had read it. That's where this incredible app shines - it's not only a clear explanation of the Constitution, but more importantly, the intent behind it, and it includes the authority for everything it states. The lack of this knowledge is what landed the US in the ludicrous and dangerous position we're in today. Kudos to the developer, and many heartfelt thanks!

HAMILTON JOINED FORCES WITH JAMES MADISON TO WRITE A SERIES OF ESSAYS DEFENDING THE NEW U.S. CONSTITUTION TITLED THE FEDERALIST PAPERS. THE PLAN WAS TO WRITE A TOTAL OF 25 ESSAYS, THE WORK DIVIDED EVENLY AMONG THE THREE MEN. IN THE END, THEY WROTE EIGHTY-FIVE ESSAYS IN THE SPAN OF SIX MONTHS. JOHN JAY GOT SICK AFTER WRITING FIVE. JAMES MADISON WROTE TWENTY-NINE. HAMILTON WROTE THE OTHER FIFTY-ONE

Why have you not done an anti-federalist papers app? Seems incomplete if you don't understand the argument against. However, dude giving you 2 stars because you haven't done that is ridiculous he's a cry baby who should argue and do it himself.

This is awesome history, and needs holistic representation, it's not up to app writer to ommit necessary components directly related, that can only truly and honestly be comprehended when allowed to observe this whole scenario of controlling evolution of this country together, with the anti-federalist papers, so please correct this incomplete viewpoint and make your presentation something to to help improve our country here AND now when we need total truth more than ever? Or not.

I really like this app. The only fault I find is that the dark mode theme isn't working correctly. Please fix that. Thanks. Perhaps in a future update, arguments from the "anti-Federalist Papers" can be included to show the perspective of those who either wanted the Articles of Confederation to remain or just didn't want the Constitution adopted for whatever reason.

When I try to copy text, I get strange behavior such as jumping ahead to the next article. Very frustrating.

Please create an app for that

Get one of the many ebooks. I have comparable apps for the Constitution and the ESV Bible and they work perfectly. This app will suddenly dart off to who-knows-where just as Hamilton's brilliant intellect is starting to overcome your sense that he was the devil incarnate.

So glad that someone has such a deep respect for our country and its history to make such a great app. This proves that there's a way to think outside the box, and possibly get this important information into the hands of kids who might've otherwise never looked into topic. A great addition to the constitution app, which together succeed in communicating the whole story behind the foundations of our ideals as a country and our system of government! Thank you for all your hard work! Acer Picasso, kill yaself

LOVE your apps, Ken ... I never rate or comment, but, I was afraid Acer PicASSo might be rallying an offshoot scary brand new old party and those of us in the know might need all the help we can get ... Perhaps we should bring the Whig party back! I've been trying for YEARS to do that! Keep slinging the best, and closest, thing to education you possibly can ... while we're not totally censured!

The app is well laid out. To give this app 2 stars because he's mad the app's developer won't make an an app of the anti-Federalist papers is ridiculous. Come on Acer Picasso, That makes as much sense to give a bible app 2 stars because they won't also publish a satanic bible app.

Install it. Read it. Love it. It's free and it has search, notes, and great usability/legibility functionality. Sure, it doesn't include the rest of the papers, but it doesn't include a ton of other related documents. If you want to immerse yourself in an exhaustive examination of the past so what historians do and live at the library. More than worth the price. Mr. Hunt you are a gentleman and a scholar.
