Scholars, lawyers, judges, and statesmen in the United States and abroad have lauded the impact of \u003ci\u003eThe Federalist\u003c\/i\u003e. John Quincy Adams referred to the papers as a \"classical work in the English language, and a commentary on the Constitution of the United States, of scarcely less authority than the Constitution itself.\" Since the publication of the papers, historians have analyzed the collected work from a variety of approaches, but at the time that Gottfried Dietze wrote in 1960, scholars mainly concentrated on specific components of \u003ci\u003eThe Federalist\u003c\/i\u003e. Dietze intervened in this scholarship by offering a comprehensive study of the work, which promoted federalism as both a means for establishing free government and securing peace within a federal state and for maintaining security under the threat of foreign powers. In addition to a theoretical examination of the text, Dietze brings in a historical component by fleshing out how its authors were shaped by the political atmosphere in which they lived and how their writings transformed political literature for generations to come\u003c\/p\u003e\u003ch3\u003eAuthor Biography\u003c\/h3\u003e\u003cp\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003e\u003cb\u003eGottfried Dietze\u003c\/b\u003e was a professor of comparative government at Johns Hopkins University.
