Abstract

Background

Three of the Founding Fathers wrote the Federalist Papers in order to gain support for and explain the new system of government.

  • Supreme Court Justices often look to the Federalist Papers when making decisions but do not always come to the same understanding.

  • In Printz v. United States (1997), both the Supreme Court’s majority and dissenting opinions used Federalist No. 27 to support their arguments.
