To gain popular support for the Constitution, the Federalist Papers were anonymously written and printed in New York state newspapers to garner support from New York voters. These papers were written and printed from 1787 to 1788 and consist of 85 essays outlining how the new government would operate and why it was the best choice of government for the United States. The essays were all signed "Publius," and although the actual authors are unknown, it's commonly believed that Alexander Hamilton wrote 52 of the essays, James Madison 28 and John Jay the remaining 5.
