Chernow has a lot to say in regards to Hamilton’s part in the papers, “In the final tally, The Federalist Papers ran to eight five essays, with fifty one attributed to Hamilton” (2004:248) During this scene, the three men playing John Jay, James Madison and Alexander Hamilton stand at the back of the stage as Aaron Burr
