 Publius
Publius continues to evolve based on the principle of creating tools to make the time citizens interact with government as effective as possible.
The historical record is unclear as to which Publius was the first to earn the reputation as a champion for the people, but the association between "Publius" and statesmanship was widespread in the ancient world.
Given its reputation the name Publius was often used as a pseudonym for authors of public statements who did not want their identity to cloud people's willingness to consider their ideas.

 Publius Helvius Pertinax, Jr.
Publius Helvius Pertinax (c.181-213): son of the Roman emperor with the same name, consul in 213, killed by the emperor Caracalla.
If Publius had had a normal senatorial career (cursus honorum), he must have been governor in 212, praetor in 211, aedile in 208, quaestor in 206, and military tribune in 201.
Now Publius said that the emperor ought to add Geticus, which might mean that Caracalla had defeated the Getae - but was also a reminder that the emperor had killed his brother Geta (in December 211).

Publius used this line of reasoning to argue in favor of the Constitution's plan to grant substantial coercive power to the federal government and to deny, in important areas, the ability of states to act in their collective capacities.
Publius speculated at length upon the classical republican issue of the nature of political attachment between citizens and the states, claiming that as a general matter, people's affections are "commonly weak in proportion to the distance or diffusiveness of the object."
Publius believed that the formal allocation of authority between the states and the federal government would be policed in a more informal way by the attachment and support of the people.

 Southern Appeal » Publius and the “Party of Death”   (Site not responding. Last check: 2007-10-01)
My buddy Publius is still in a tizzy over the title of Ramesh Ponnuru’s recently-published book, “The Party of Death.” In fact, he is so upset by it that he’s sided with Andrew Sullivan in his catty little blog snaps at Ponnuru.
What Publius is really saying is that in some cases the law should not recognize life as being worthy of legal protection, i.e., that some lives are more meaningful than others.
Publius appears to redefine human right to life to exclude preborns of his choice, which indicates that this is not a first principle, but that human rights are dependent on some unstated first principle.

"The papers under the title of "Federalist" and signature of 'Publius' were written by Alexander Hamilton, James Madison, and John Jay, in the latter part of the year 1787 and the former part of the year 1788.
The immediate object of them was to vindicate and recommend the new Constitution to the State of New York, whose ratification of the instrument was doubtful, as well as important.
The papers were originally addressed to the people of N. York, under the signature of a "Citizen of New York." This was changed for that of "Publius," the first name of Valerius Publicola.
