Justification
We live in a country where the Constitution is a revered document, and we live in a state where the Federalist Papers were helpful in the passage of the Constitution. Even today the Federalist Papers serve as a means to understand the intent behind the articles of the Constitution and are sometimes used in judicial decisions. It is important for the youth of New York State to learn about the rich and patriotic context of the Federalist Papers in order to enrich their civic education and help them become better citizens of this great state and country.
