The vital words of Alexander Hamilton, including essays, private correspondence, and public statements. Alexander Hamilton is best known as the United States’ first Secretary of the Treasury and the author of the majority of The Federalist Papers, a series of essays that outlined the basic concepts and premises of the U.S. Constitution. Since the founding of the nation, these essays have been used by the U.S. Supreme Court as an authoritative guide to the intentions of the Founding Fathers in cases involving constitutional interpretation. Included in this volume are five of the most important essays from The Federalist Papers, plus personal correspondence and public statements from across Hamilton’s career as a statesman.

Focusing on the foundational debate over executive versus legislative powers, this book explores the Pacificus-Helvidius discussions sparked by President Washington's Neutrality Proclamation in 1793. Hamilton defended the constitutionality of Washington's decision, suggesting that inter-branch friction was a natural outcome of the separation of powers. In contrast, Madison warned that such actions could alter constitutional interpretations. Though the debates did not settle the issue, they established a framework for ongoing discussions about foreign policy and constitutional authority in America.
