De l'esprit des lois is a landmark work in political theory written by Montesquieu. Published in 1748, it is a comprehensive treatise that divides governments into three types: republics, monarchies, and despotisms. Each type is associated with a primary principle: virtue for republics, honor for monarchies, and fear for despotisms. The work emphasizes the separation of powers as a guarantor of political liberty and examines the impact of climate, terrain, and other societal factors on laws. It also discusses the concept of 'esprit général' and its influence on the laws and customs of a nation. The book has been highly influential in the history of political theory and jurisprudence.

The Federalist Papers are a series of essays written by Alexander Hamilton, James Madison, and John Jay under the pseudonym 'Publius. ' These essays, published between October 1787 and May 1788, aimed to convince the public and political leaders to ratify the newly drafted US Constitution. The papers provide a comprehensive analysis of the proposed federal system, arguing for a stronger central government and the adoption of the Constitution over the existing Articles of Confederation. They discuss various aspects of republican government, including the separation of powers, checks and balances, and the protection of individual liberties. Despite their primary goal of influencing New York's ratification vote, The Federalist Papers have become a seminal work in American political philosophy and a key resource for understanding the original intent of the Constitution's framers.
