The Federalist Papers, as they are referred to today, originally the "Federalist" essays was conceived, members selected, and printer found through the efforts of Alexander Hamilton. Two initial members didn't cut it. John Jay contributed 5 essays before he got sick. Hamilton did 51 essays and Madison 29 for a total of 85 essays.
Because the Constitutional Convention proceedings were secret for many years, the public was confused about WHY the elements of the Constitution were chosen. The Federalist explained it and the alternatives and the dangers of not ratifying it.
It is still being cited in cases today, all the way up to the Supreme Court, and influenced blossoming democracies around the world!
