Describes the Federalist Papers?

The Federalist Papers were a series of papers anonymously written by Alexander Hamilton, James Madison, and John Jay that promoted ratification of the U.S. Constitution. Nine out of the thirteen states needed to ratify the Constitution in order for it to become the "law of the land" or legal. Therefore, these letters were meant to demonstrate the new Constitutions strengths and to persuade states to ratify it. The Federalist Papers were especially decisive in states like New York and Virginia where there was a lot of Anti-Federalist oppostion present. All in all, the Federalist Papers were successful helping the Constitution become ratified.

What were the federalist paper and why were they written?

Do you think that the federalist papers played an essential role in the ratification of the constitution?

The Federalist Papers were the "blogs" and discussion sites of the mid-1780's. Released anonymously, they were written by James Madison, John Jay and Alexander Hamilton and published in three New York newspapers; the Independent Journal , the New-York Packet, and the Daily Advertiser. The purpose of the Federalist Papers was to persuade the people and the various delegates to the Constitutional Convention to vote to approve the Constitution. They were not entirely convincing. The "Anti-Federalists" such as James Wilson and Richard Henry Lee weren't convinced that a powerful and unconstrained Federal government was desirable. The two sides eventually compromised. The Federalists believed that no explicit "bill of rights" was necessary, because the Constitution didn't explicitly allow the government to perform certain actions. The Anti-Federalists argued that governments would ALWAYS act to exceed their allowed powers, and certainly we here in the 21st Century can see the evidence. So the Constitution was enacted with an explicit "Bill of Rights", ten restrictions on the power of the government.
