Alexander Hamilton Bücher

Die Federalist Papers gehören zu den bedeutendsten Texten der modernen westlichen Demokratie. Die fünfundachtzig Artikel, welche 1787/88 erschienen und die zur Abstimmung anstehende amerikanische Verfassung verteidigten, diskutieren die Fundamente repräsentativer Demokratie und sind gleichsam als Gründungsdokumente heutiger pluralistischer Gesellschaften zu lesen. Ihre Aussagekraft ist von zeitloser Aktualität – sowohl vor dem Hintergrund der Legitimätskrise westlicher Demokratien wie angesichts der weltpolitischen Rolle der Vereinigten Staaten. Barbara Zehnpfennigs vielgerühmte Übersetzung liegt nun erstmals in einer preiswerten Ausgabe vor.

Ein Klassiker des politischen Denkens mit kommentierter Übersetzung und umfassender Einleitung. Die 85 "Federalist"-Artikel sind ein Höhepunkt der Aufklärungsphilosophie und bieten einen authentischen Kommentar zur US-Verfassung, zentral für die Entwicklung der repräsentativen Demokratie und des modernen Verfassungsstaates.

The collection features 18 pivotal essays from The Federalist Papers, authored by Founding Fathers Hamilton, Madison, and Jay.

Bernstein, making it a perfect gift for those interested in the nation's legal heritage.

The Federalist Papers present a compelling argument for the United States Constitution through 85 articles by prominent figures like Hamilton, Madison, and Jay, exploring themes of individual versus governmental rights.
