With the Constitution and the Declaration of Independence, The Federalist is among one of the most important political documents in American history.
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.
