James Madison, Alexander Hamilton, and John Jay all wrote under the name Publius, latin for "public" I think. All of the essays they wrote were later put together and called the "Federalist Papers". I know James Madison played a major role in drafting and ratifying the Constitution, which was the main subject of the Federalist Papers, but I don't know if the Papers had a principal author.
No, he was very much a federalist. He wrote books on the role of government and stated that the government was to "provide the greatest amount of happiness for the largest number and representative assembly should be a miniature and exact portrait of the people at large."
No. Although actually the Federalist was written after the constitution since it was a series of essays designed to sway support for ratification. Michael Montagne
The Federalist Papers were a series of articles written by Alexander Hamilton, John Jay, and James Madison, under the name "Publius," and published in newspapers between 1787 and 1788, to convince New York citizens to adopt the newly proposed Constitution of the United States. The essays may have played a minor role in securing ratification in NY, but they have a lasting value as the authoritative explanation of the Constitution and the form of government established in the United States. Though written for political purposes, they were later published under the title, The Federalist, and became one of the most important pieces of American political philosophy.
