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.
