About this listen
The Federalist Papers were first published in 1787 in the New York press under the signature of "Publius", a psuedonym used by the three authors: John Jay, James Madison, and Alexander Hamilton. Jay was responsible for only a few of the 85 articles.
The essays appeared in book form in 1788 and are generally considered to be one of the most important contributions to political thought made in America. The papers were meant to be influential in the campaign for the adoption of the Constitution by New York state. The authors discussed many general problems of politics in addition to the issues of the Constitution.

It's a rather unstructured rambling of a collection of forefathers of the US in establishing their constitution. Mainly Alexander Hamilton.
Unfortunately rather than a political theory or philosophy thesis it's just the rambling thoughts.
The writing style is mundane, dry and not remotely of any literary value.
As a collection of speeches i doubt there would be anyone left awake in the audience.
Neither does it shed much light on the principles being considered for the new constitution.
The narrator's unfortunate dry delivery doesn't rescue it.
Read anything by Benjamin Franklin or John Adams instead. Both gentlemen had a wonderful command of the English language and both were adept writers and speakers with the ability to put punch, relevance and humour into their subject.
Franklin's Autobiography itself iis most definitely a valid entry to the best 100 books you should read.
Hamilton should have stuck to musicals.
The rather pedestrian ramblings of Hamilton et al
