The Federalist Papers are a series of political articles written by James Madison, John Jay, and Alexander Hamilton. The articles, published in 1787 and 1788, were written to gain popular support for the newly proposed United States Constitution. They would establish the tenets of what would become the political philosophy of Federalism in the United States.

∙ 11y agoAlexander Hamilton, the sole delegate from New York at the Convention (the other two left), got very worried about his state and the ratification of the Constitution. New York was a bastion of anti-Federalists who were denouncing the Constitution, and Hamilton knew full well that it would take a lot of persuasion to get it ratified. He recruited James Madison of Virginia and fellow New Yorker John Jay to his cause, and the three of them started to write essays that outlined the Constitution and persuaded New Yorkers to support the Constitution.
By the end, Hamilton wrote 51, Madison 29, and Jay, who got sick, 5. Important essays include 10, 51, 78, and 84, and today the Federalist Papers are cited as the highest Constitutional authority.
