"The time is now near at hand which must probably determine, whether Americans are to be, Freemen, or Slaves; whether they are to have any property they can call their own; whether their Houses, and Farms, are to be pillaged and destroyed, and they consigned to a State of Wretchedness from which no human efforts will probably deliver them. The fate of unborn Millions will now depend, under God, on the Courage and Conduct of this army" - Gen. George Washington, to his troops before the battle of Long Island

Librivox Audio book "The Federalist Papers"
Librivox recording of The Federalist Papers, by Alexander Hamilton, John Jay, and James Madison.
The Federalist Papers (correctly known as The Federalist) are a series of 85 articles advocating the ratification of the United States Constitution. Seventy-seven of the essays were published serially in The Independent Journal and The New York Packet between October 1787 and August 1788 . A compilation of these and eight others, called The Federalist, was published in 1788 by J. and A. M’Lean.
The Federalist Papers serve as a primary source for interpretation
of the Constitution, as they outline the philosophy and motivation of the
proposed system of government.The authors of the Federalist Papers wanted
to both influence the vote in favor of ratification and shape future interpretations
of the Constitution. According to historian Richard Morris, they are an “incomparable
exposition of the Constitution, a classic in political science unsurpassed
in both breadth and depth by the product of any later American writer.”
