Federalist Papers: Jay

The third writer under the pseudonym "Publius" actually began the series of discussions about the recently concluded Constitutional Convention, although he became ill, and ultimately ended with one long essay. This volume includes other commentaries by Jay, who ended up serving as the very first Supreme Court Justice, in part correspondence with the new President, George Washington, his colleague Alexander Hamilton, with various rulings, judgments, decisions that set the Supreme Court on its important role as "referee" when constituents disagreed.
