Was the federalist papers a defense for the brand new declaration of independence?
False. The Federalist Papers were a defense for the proposed Constitution of the United States of America. After the Constitutional Convention, the Constitution was sent to the 13 states to be reviewed and ratified. There was widespread fear that the new Constitution gave too much power to the Federal government, and not enough power to the individual States. James Madison and Alexander Hamilton anonomously wrote The Fereralist Papers as a series of newspaper articles published in the colonies. It is a very thorough and convincing argument as to why the people should adopt the new Constitution. They presented logical reasons as to why the new Constitution does not infringe on individual liberties, and why a strong central government is neccessary to protect our freedoms. The Federalist Papers were some of the most documents in U.S. history, because they helped approve the Constitution we still live under today
What do the federalist papers mean in modern English?
Your question must be directed to the role and value of the Federalist Papers as a whole, I suspect, because otherwise the answer would require a minutely detailed dissection of those letter that constitute the Federalist. The Federalist Papers offer the arguments in support of the ratification of the Constitution of 1787, proposed by the Constitutional Convention that met in Philadelphia. Today, they are one key source of understanding of the milieu that gave rise to the 1787 Convention and the document produced by it, of understanding of the scope and meaning of the provisions of that document, and of understanding the arguments made against that document and rebutted in the Federalist Papers. Moreover, they are quite the persuasive source on meaning when they speak relevantly to an issue in dispute today. To win ratification of the United States Constitution in New York state, Alexander Hamilton, John Jay, and James Madison wrote a series of newspaper articles, under assumed names, in order to convince the public to support the new Constitution. The purpose of the articles was to explain and defend the writing of the Constitution. 85 articles were written between 1787-1788. The articles probably had little influence on New York approving the Constitution, but the essays have had a lasting value as authoritative explanations of the sections of the Constitution. The Federalist Papers, as they were called, have become the single most important piece of American political philosophy ever produced in America. Wikipedia has information about the Federalist Papers and many are explained in modern English. MrV
