The Bill of Rights
The federalist papers were a series of articles that were written for the New York paper. Their purpose was to persuade the anti federalists to ratify the newly published Constitution. Alexander Hamilton, John Jay, and James Madison were the authors of these articles; the most famous of the papers is probably Madison's Federalist No. 10. The articles can still be read, as they are sold in book form as The Federalist.
The Federalist Papers attempted to clarify the goals of the Constitution by stating problems the country faced, and articulating how the Constitution would address and solve those problems. One example would be the need for a coherent national defense.
Federalists quickly promised to attach a bill of rights to the Constitution once it was ratified. They also agreed to support an amendment that would reserve for the states or the people all powers not specifically granted to the federal government. These Federalist promises and the support of artisans guaranteed Massachusett's approval.
They promised to support key ammendments to the Constitution.
