内容説明
The "Federalist Papers" were written in 1787 as a series of essays in defense of the new constitution by three of America's founding fathers, Alexander Hamilton, James Madison and John Jay. In this book, three constitutional experts address the threats posed by current challenges to the American constitution. They recognize the dangers that diminution of federal powers could bring, whilst understanding the importance of the market, of state and local governments, and of the other institutions on which a healthy democracy depends. They aim to stimulate debate and to bring about a reasoned consideration of such issues as gun control, flag-burning, the limits of elected representatives' terms, and the controversy over the balanced budget.

内容説明
In the aftermath of the Constitutional Convention of 1787, three of its most gifted participants--Alexander Hamilton, James Madison, and John Jay--wrote a series of eighty-five essays, published in newspapers throughout the nation, defending the proposed new government against its opponents. Those essays, known today as the Federalist Papers, explain the philosophical basis of the Constitution and defend the idea of republican government against charges that it would lead to tyranny.
Today's political controversies call into question some of the principles that have shaped government through most of this century. New Federalist Papers, written by three constitutional experts, defends the representative democracy put in place by the framers of the Constitution. Like Hamilton, Madison, and Jay, the authors of New Federalist Papers see danger in the effort to diminish and relocate federal power. They recognize that it is the task of public discourse to bring about reasoned consideration of such issues as gun control, term limits, flag burning, the balanced budget amendment, and campaign finance reform.
