The Federalist Papers is a series of 85 essays written by Alexander Hamilton, James Madison, and John Jay under the pseudonym Publius, arguing for the ratification of the United States Constitution. The Federalist Papers were published serially from 1787 to 1788 in several newspapers, such as the "Independent Journal," the "New York Packets," and "The Daily Advertiser." Addressed to "The People of the State of New York," these essays detailed plans for a strong national government and are known as one of the most important political documents in the history of the United States.Alexander Hamilton, the driving force behind The Federalist Papers, served as a captain during the War of Independence, was a member of the Constitutional Convention, and became the first Secretary of the Treasury. Hamilton wrote 51 of the 85 essays. James Madison, the fourth President of the United States, was known as the 'father' of the Constitution due to his influence while drawing up the Bill of Rights. During his time as the Secretary of State, he worked to abolish slavery and sought for peace. John Jay established law and diplomacy in the new nation as the first Chief Justice of the Supreme Court and shaped many of the Supreme Court procedures we still see today.These three important figures argued, through The Federalist Papers, that the Articles of Confederation prevented the United States from becoming strong on its own. The Federalist Papers explained to the public key provisions of the new proposed Constitution, making it one of the first pieces of political philosophy in United States history.
Col. Edward Mandell House tried to remain anonymous, but eventually his vision of America, as represented in his novel "Philip Dru: Administrator" became known. Why anonymous? Perhaps because it conveyed precisely what one of his critics said, "Suffice it to know Philip Dru is an autobiography of the colonel himself and solves the conundrum how to get rid of the Constitution." Given House's close working relationship with President Woodrow Wilson and Wilson's own strained relationship with the foundational document of the country, bravely testifying to one's actual views is manifestly politically unwise. Especially when that vision cheers on a progressive-led civil war in America to root out and destroy completely the rugged 'reactionary' revolutionists preventing the arrival of The Administrative State: Utopia. In view of continued progressive disdain for ordinary Americans and the Constitution--which stands in their way today, as it stood in Wilson's way--"Philip Dru: Administrator" provides an important glimpse into the Bureaucratic mind, free from constraints, and allowed to dream big. May it never be free from constraints.
After World War II, investigations were made and trials were held. Today, the most well known of these were the Nuremberg "Doctor's Trial", which probed the various euthanasia programs carried out by the defeated Germans. However, there were other trials, no less important and of continued historic interest, which explored and documented how and why the Nazi's acquired and applied their power. In these trials, "The Nuremberg Trials" men like Wilhelm Goering, Rudolf Hess, and Karl Doenitz, were prosecuted. The generated documents and testimony were then collated by the US Government into a set of publications called "Nazi Conspiracy and Aggression", which were also called "The Red Series" (named after the color of the binding).
