About “Certain General and Miscellaneous Objections to the Constitution Considered and Answered”

Federalist No. 84 is a political essay written by Alexander Hamilton, the eighty-fourth and penultimate essay in The Federalist Papers. It was published on July 16, July 26, and August 9, 1788, under the pseudonym Publius. The official title is "Certain General and Miscellaneous Objections to the Constitution Considered and Answered." The essay opposes the inclusion of a bill of rights, a position that conflicted with James Madison's views. Madison's position prevailed, leading to the ratification of the United States Bill of Rights on December 15, 1791. (Summary adapted from Wikipedia, CC BY-SA 4.0.)
