      A Collection of Essays Written in Favour of the New Constitution as Agreed Upon by the Federal Convention September 17, 1787

      The Federalist Papers are a collection of eighty-five articles and essays written by Alexander Hamilton, James Madison, and John Jay in favor of ratifying the United States Constitution. First appearing in 1787 as a series of anonymous letters to New York newspapers, this collective body of work was foremost intended to influence the vote in favor of ratifying the Constitution. In Federalist No. 1, Hamilton set their debate in broader political terms as well. "It has been frequently remarked," he wrote, "that it seems to have been reserved to the people of this country, by their conduct and example, to decide the important question, whether societies of men are really capable or not of establishing good government from reflection and choice, or whether they are forever destined to depend for their political constitutions on accident and force." Among the highlights is Federalist No. 10, in which Madison discusses the means of preventing rule by majority faction and advocates for a large, commercial republic. This is generally regarded as the most important of the eighty-five essays from a philosophical perspective, and it is complemented by Federalist No. 14, in which Madison takes the measure of the United States, declares it appropriate for an extended republic, and concludes with a defense of the Constitution. In Federalist No. 70, Hamilton advocates for a one-man chief executive, and in Federalist No. 78 he lays the groundwork for the doctrine of judicial review by federal courts. Though centuries old, these timeless essays remain the benchmark of American political philosophy.

    • Příběhy tajných misí Charlese Pickarda, pilota, který se stal příslušníkem RAF ještě před započetím druhé světové války a v době jejího propuknutí byl příslušníkem 99. bombardovací letky a později se měl dokonce stát velitelem české 311. letky. Zúčastnil se známého Brunevalského náletu a do popředí veřejného zájmu se dostal za svou roli ve filmu F jako Freddie, jenž byl vyroben na základně RAF v Tempsfordu. Odtud jako pilot Lysanderu vzlétal na operace, které ho zaváděly hluboko do nepřítelem okupovaných oblastí, zejména při tajných nočních výsadcích agentů a zásob. Znovu a znovu úspěšně demonstroval svůj nevšední cit a schopnost pro noční létání. Ironií osudu zahynul, když se zúčastnil slavného náletu na věznici v Amiens.

    • Listy federalistů jsou souborem 85 článků obhajujících ratifikaci Ústavy Spojených států, z nichž 77 bylo publikováno v The Independent Journal a The New York Packet mezi říjnem 1787 a srpnem 1788. Tyto eseje poskytují přehled filosofie a motivací navrhovaného systému vlády, přičemž jejich autoři usilovali o ovlivnění volby ve prospěch ratifikace a o usměrnění budoucích interpretací Ústavy. Historik Richard B. Morris je považuje za „nesrovnatelný výklad Ústavy“, klasiku politické vědy. Autorství článků bylo dlouho tajemstvím, ale většina je připisována Hamiltonovi, Madisonovi a Jayovi. Hamilton napsal 51 článků, Madison 29 a Jay 5, přičemž některé články vznikly spoluprací Madison a Hamiltona. Autoři používali pseudonym „Publius“ na počest římského konzula. Madison, Hamilton a Jay se stali významnými postavami americké politiky. Mezi klíčovými esejemi vyniká číslo 10, kde Madison obhajuje rozšířenou republiku, a číslo 14, které deklaruje vhodnost USA pro tento typ vlády. Hamilton v čísle 84 argumentuje proti potřebě Listiny práv, zatímco v čísle 78 představuje doktrínu právní oponentury federálních soudů. Další významné eseje zahrnují číslo 70, které obhajuje jednotného šéfa exekutivy, a číslo 51, které zdůrazňuje systém brzd a protivah.
