On this day in 1787, Alexander Hamilton published Federalist no. 1 in the New York Independent Journal—the opening argument in an 85-essay public discussion about what kind of country the United States should be. Among other things, the Federalist papers emphasized the need for responsible governance and the role of everyday citizens. We’re doing the work!
