The texts and contexts of the political debates surrounding the writing and ratification of the United States Constitution, concentrating on the 85 "Federalist" essays composed by Alexander Hamilton, James Madison, and John Jay under the collective pseudonym of "Publius." Written after the Philadelphia Constitutional Convention in 1787 for the purpose of urging ratification in New York, The Federalist papers demonstrate the power (and limits) of ideas and provide an ideal subject for the historical study of a text in context. For that reason, this course studies the interaction of political philosophy and the practical realities of politics.

Since the French Revolution, the European liberal tradition has tried to reconcile two different ideas about what the individual wants and needs and about the forms of society and government necessary to achieve them. One is the idea that the individual is importantly motivated by material self-interest. It gave rise to the idea of a liberalism based on individual rights to life, liberty and property, which saw the government as existing primarily to protect those rights. The other is the idea that individuals want and need the fullest possible development of all the faculties that make up their unique individuality. It demands that society and government create the conditions necessary for the flourishing of the whole personality.
