The Federalist Papers
The Federalist (later known as The Federalist Papers) is a collection of 85 articles and essays written by Alexander Hamilton, James Madison, and John Jay under the pseudonym "Publius" to promote the ratification of the United States Constitution. The first 77 of these essays were published serially in the "Independent Journal", the "New York Packet", and "The Daily Advertiser" between October 1787 and April 1788. A two-volume compilation of these 77 essays and eight others was published as The Federalist: A Collection of Essays, Written in Favour of the New Constitution, as Agreed upon by the Federal Convention, September 17, 1787 by publishing firm J. & A. McLean in March and May 1788. The collection was commonly known as "The Federalist" until the name "The Federalist Papers" emerged in the 20th century.
Political Affairs (magazine)
The publication can be traced back to "The Masses", the famous Greenwich Village paper of the 1910s. After being suppressed by the government, the paper continued as "The Liberator". Independently of this, the Friends of Soviet Russia had established another monthly, "Soviet Russia", in 1919. In 1924 the title was changed to "Soviet Russia Pictorial". Finally, William Z. Foster had begun "Labor Herald" as the official publication of his Trade Union Educational League in March 1922. When the Workers Party of America had finally been consolidated as the unified above-ground Communist Party in the United States, it was determined that the party should have a theoretical monthly as well as a daily, in line with Lenin's guideline in "What Is To Be Done?" The above three publications were combined into "Workers Monthly", which debuted in November 1924. It changed its name to "The Communist" in 1927 and to "Political Affairs" in 1944.
