Federalist Papers

That the US has several functions of government, one that is federal and the other that is state and local. The US federal system creates a central government that is restrained two ways. Clearly as per the Framers, all powers not relegated to the federal government are left to the states. In addition to that, the Framers created a central government where power is separated. The executive, legislative and judicial branches are designed to not allow any branch to have too much power by itself. The separation of powers is an excellent method of controlling an uneven growth of power in any single branch.

Alexander Hamilton. He wrote 52 of the 85 Federalist essays.

The Federalist Papers were not written during the Revolutionary War; they were written after the Constitution -- the second independent US government -- was signed and sent to the states for ratification, between October 1787 and June 1788. This was more than ten years after the Revolution.

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.
