When Alexander Hamilton, John Jay, and James Madison came together in support of the ratification of the Constitution, they created what has become one of the most celebrated series of political texts in history. The Federalist Papers, a series of 85 essays, helped push New Yorkers towards ratification and laid some of the strongest arguments in favor of a strong Federal Government. In part one of our analysis, we perform an Exploratory Data Analysis (EDA) using modern Natural Language Processing (NLP) techniques to to better understand these essays.
