'The Federalist Papers' was a collection of 85 articles that first were published as a set of 77 in The Independent Journal and The New York Packet, October 1787-August 1788. All 85 articles were published by J. and A. McLean, under the title 'The Federalist', in 1788. The purpose of the articles was twofold. One was influencing the vote in favor of ratification of the United States Constitution. The other was influencing subsequent interpretations of the Constitution. The articles were published under the name 'Publius', to honor Publius Valerius Publicola [d. 503 B.C.] for his role in overthrowing Lucius Tarquinius Superbus [d. 496 B.C.], the seventh Emperor of the Roman kingdom, and setting up the Roman Republic, in 503 B.C. The articles were written by three different authors: Alexander Hamilton [January 11, 1756 or 1757 - July 12, 1804]; John Jay [December 12, 1776-May 17, 1829]; and James Madison [March 16, 1751-June 28, 1836]. Hamilton authored 51 of the 85 articles: numbers 1, 6-9, 11-13, 15-17, 21-36, 59-61, and 65-85. Jay authored five articles: numbers 2-5, and 64. And Madison authored 29 articles: 10, 14, 18-20, 37-58, and 62-63.
