Federalist Reader

Reading progress (paper status: unread/read) is stored privately in the browser; no account creation is required.

All 85 papers are included, with search functionality and sort options by paper order, author, or first publication date. Filters show all, unread, or read papers.

Short guides point to the best-known essays on topics like faction, division of power, the presidency, and the courts, helping newcomers find key content quickly.

Option to have papers delivered via 'post' (email newsletter implied) — one each week or on the exact date each essay first appeared. Users can leave at any time.

Start with Paper No. 1 for sequential reading, follow companion guides for a curated path, or subscribe for scheduled delivery.

Each paper displays its title, a short message summarizing the argument, the author's name (Hamilton, Jay, or Madison), and the original publication date.
