John Jay

    Tato osobnost zanechala nesmazatelnou stopu v utváření raných Spojených států skrze svou politickou angažovanost a diplomatické úsilí. Jeho vliv jako státníka a jednoho ze zakladatelů byl klíčový při formování národní identity a mezinárodních vztahů země. Prostřednictvím své práce přispěl k nastavení základů právního a politického systému, jehož ozvěny rezonují dodnes. Jeho oddanost principům revoluční éry a státnictví byla stěžejní pro budoucnost národa.

    Listy federalistů
    • Listy federalistů jsou souborem 85 článků obhajujících ratifikaci Ústavy Spojených států, z nichž 77 bylo publikováno v The Independent Journal a The New York Packet mezi říjnem 1787 a srpnem 1788. Tyto eseje poskytují přehled filosofie a motivací navrhovaného systému vlády, přičemž jejich autoři usilovali o ovlivnění volby ve prospěch ratifikace a o usměrnění budoucích interpretací Ústavy. Historik Richard B. Morris je považuje za „nesrovnatelný výklad Ústavy“, klasiku politické vědy. Autorství článků bylo dlouho tajemstvím, ale většina je připisována Hamiltonovi, Madisonovi a Jayovi. Hamilton napsal 51 článků, Madison 29 a Jay 5, přičemž některé články vznikly spoluprací Madison a Hamiltona. Autoři používali pseudonym „Publius“ na počest římského konzula. Madison, Hamilton a Jay se stali významnými postavami americké politiky. Mezi klíčovými esejemi vyniká číslo 10, kde Madison obhajuje rozšířenou republiku, a číslo 14, které deklaruje vhodnost USA pro tento typ vlády. Hamilton v čísle 84 argumentuje proti potřebě Listiny práv, zatímco v čísle 78 představuje doktrínu právní oponentury federálních soudů. Další významné eseje zahrnují číslo 70, které obhajuje jednotného šéfa exekutivy, a číslo 51, které zdůrazňuje systém brzd a protivah.
