The Federalist is a collection of 85 essays originally published in New York newspapers between October 5, 1787 and June 27, 1788. Alexander Hamilton, James Madison, and John Jay wrote articles addressed "to the people of New York" explaining the benefits of forming a new government under the Constitution, with the hope of gaining popular support.
Many states were reluctant to exchange the Articles of Confederation for the Constitution because they would have to give up much of their autonomy and sovereign authority. The Federalist Papers (initially collected as The Federalist) and the promise of a Bill of Rights protecting the states and their citizens, finally persuaded the states to ratify the Constitution.
The Federalist is now typically published under the title The Federalist Papers.
