Here are a bunch of sentences using Federalist Papers:

Alexander Hamilton wrote most of the eighty-five essays that were later published in a book called the The Federalist, but most people refer to them as the Federalist Papers.

The Federalist Papers were first published in New York newspapers as editorial letters to the citizens of New York. They were intended to help people understand the republican form of government and the benefits of the Constitution.

New Yorkers had strong opinions about the Constitution; many preferred the Articles of Confederation, which gave the individual states more power. Alexander Hamilton, James Madison, and John Jay wrote the Federalist Papers to "sell" the idea of uniting under a strong central government. All three expressed their views anonymously by sharing the pen name "Publius."

Other writers opposed the idea of ceding power to a federal government and published letters disagreeing with "Publius." Some of their essays were later collected into a book called the Anti-Federalist Papers.

Both the Federalist Papers and the Anti-Federalist Papers are important documents that help us understand both the Constitution and the era in which it was written.
