The Federalist Papers were a series of 85 essays written by Alexander Hamilton, James Madison, and John Jay in the late 18th century to promote the ratification of the U.S. Constitution. They argued for a strong central government and addressed concerns about the proposed system's potential for tyranny. In contrast, Anti-Federalist Papers, authored by various writers including Patrick Henry and George Mason, expressed opposition to the Constitution, fearing it would create a central government too powerful and infringe on individual liberties. Together, these writings shaped the debate over the Constitution and the balance of power in the new nation.
