Semiquincentennial Discussion

Moving on from independence, past the Articles of Confederation, and to the ratification of the constitution, we'll discuss the federalist papers written by Alexander Hamilton, James Madison, and John Jay:

Federalist Papers Nos. 1 - 14

At the time the Federalist Papers were being published, the new US Constitution had been drafted and sent to the states for ratification. Eighty-five federalist papers were published between October 1787 and August 1788, written primarily for a New York audience, under the pseudonym "Publius" (of the people) to influence voters to support the constitution becoming the new supreme law of the land.

The Federalist Papers can be found in the public domain, but if you have trouble finding a copy, get in touch with Erika W., who will be hosting this event, and she can help out.
Erika reserved the Isles conference room from 6:00 - 8:00 pm at the Walker Library. We can take some time to get settled in and start at 6:15. Announcements about the library closing will start at 7:30 pm.

Parking is free in the garage.

This event is limited to 8 attendees.
