There was one main purpose-- Because of the extreme controversy over the ratification of the constitution among the states, and in particular, New York (Alexander Hamilton's state), AH decided that extreme action needed to be taken in order to convince the New York people that the constitution was valid and would not usurp the authority of state government (though many of his wishes for the federal government would have done that). He recruited James Madison and John Jay to help him publish in many of the newspapers of New York four times a week. The eighty-five letters addressed conflicts by interpreting the constitution so that it could be understood and the motives behind the declarations were made clear. Several points were made in these papers that were not directly stated in the constitution (which addressed New York itself, assuaging its fears particularly), and eventually New York was convinced.
