Features: The original title of this book is The Federalist, and its content consists of debates on the constitutional issues of the United States, elaborating on various principles of constitutionalism. The original work was first published in installments in New York newspapers starting from October 27, 1787, and was later compiled and published as a separate volume between March and May 1788, divided into two volumes. The preface includes an introduction written by Hamilton and a hand-picked table of contents. Subsequently, multiple editions were printed in the United States, and translations appeared in various countries. In 1792, a French translation was published in Paris, with two versions, and after extensive verification, the author's surname was finally confirmed. By the time a federal-style government was established in South America, in 1840, a Portuguese translation was published in the capital of Brazil. In 1868, an Argentine Spanish translation was published in the capital of Argentina. Among these, a German abridged translation was published in Bremen in 1864. However, the British public only gained access to the book in 1911, but the rulers of the United Kingdom and its dominions had long been studying its theories to organize the British Empire federation, which also contributed to the formation of the political systems of Australia and South Africa.
