What are the Federalists papers?

Answer 1

After the Constitution of The United States was proposed, it faced tremendous opposition. It needed someone to answer its critics and defend its provisions. In New York, the fight over ratifying the Constitution was so contentious that James Madison, Alexander Hamilton, and Joy Jay wrote 85 essays advocating ratification. The three men published their essays under the shared pseudonym "Publius."

Seventy-seven of the essays were published serially in The Independent Journal and The New York Packet between October 1787 and August 1788. These were later published as a collection called The Federalist or The New Constitution in 1788. The series's correct title is The Federalist; the title The Federalist Papers did not emerge until the twentieth century.

The Federalist Papers are recognized as some of the "greatest political writings in American history."
