John Jay Bücher

A series of insightful political essays advocating for the ratification of the U.S. Constitution, the Federalist Papers address the imperfections of human nature and the need for a robust government system. The authors argue that effective governance must safeguard against human weaknesses, contributing to the Constitution's eventual ratification amidst significant debate. This foundational work has not only shaped the legal framework of the United States but has also served as a model for other governments worldwide.

Die Federalist Papers gehören zu den bedeutendsten Texten der modernen westlichen Demokratie. Die fünfundachtzig Artikel, welche 1787/88 erschienen und die zur Abstimmung anstehende amerikanische Verfassung verteidigten, diskutieren die Fundamente repräsentativer Demokratie und sind gleichsam als Gründungsdokumente heutiger pluralistischer Gesellschaften zu lesen. Ihre Aussagekraft ist von zeitloser Aktualität – sowohl vor dem Hintergrund der Legitimätskrise westlicher Demokratien wie angesichts der weltpolitischen Rolle der Vereinigten Staaten. Barbara Zehnpfennigs vielgerühmte Übersetzung liegt nun erstmals in einer preiswerten Ausgabe vor.
