'''Federalist No. 26''', authored by [[Alexander Hamilton]] under the pen name ''Publius'', is the twenty sixth of 85 essays. Titled "''The Same Subject Continued: The Powers Necessary to the Common Defense Further Considered''", Hamilton points to English history in his discussion of why a standing army is necessary to protect the United States from foreign invasion.

In particular, he references the Norman Conquest (See [[Battle of Hastings]]) and the tyranny that the English people faced until they were finally triumphant in 1688 at restoring Liberty.

It was published on December 22, 1787.
