Federalist Papers

The papers became popluar when townspeople (men) would gather at local "watering holes" and the papers would be read aloud. The papers were published in popular newspapers. Usually one town would only have 1-2 copies because printing and paper was very expensive at the time. Word of mouth played a huge role in the widespread support of these papers.

The Federalist Papers were written by three members of the Federalist Party, Alexander Hamilton, James Madison and John Jay, to encourage the states to ratify the US Constitution.

Colonial America had just won Independence from Britain. The Federalist Papers were written by Madison Hamilton and Jay and argued in favor of a strong central government, but Americans feared a central government. They did not want to be "ruled" again.

Paper #72 (Hamilton) deals with term limits of the president and argues strenuously against them. Hamilton argues that the elimoination of a person from the job who is particularly well suited for it would be more detrimental than any benefit of preventing a potential dictatorship from forming when the president can be voted out of office by the will of the people within four years.

In #52, Madison states "It is a received and well-founded maxim that where no other circumstances affect the case, the greater the power is, the shorter ought to be its duration; and, conversely, the smaller the power, the more safely may its duration be protracted.". Madison is talking about the frequency of elections in the House of Representatives and not term limits. He argues that frequent elections are the means of getting rid of bad apples and that that show a great propensity to the office should be re-elected repeatedly so that the elected can use his talents for the good of the people.

The sentiment is stated that in order for one to be good at a job one must do it for a while and the longer one does it the better he will be at it- that wisdom comes with experience.

A fictitious character named "Publius" wrote essays "To the people of New York."

Publius was Alexander Hamilton's, James Madison's and John Jay's shared pseudonym; the "people of New York" represented not only the general public of New York but, more importantly, the state legislators who had yet to ratify the Constitution.

The Federalist papers are a series of essays written in 1787 and 1788 by Alexander Hamilton, John Jay and James Madison to influence the ratification debate in New York. To this day theybare considered perhaps the finest treatise on republican government. Since the 2nd amendment, along with the rest of the Bill of Rights, was written by the First Congress in 1789 I don't think the Federalist has any bearing on it whatsoever. Michael Montagne To help along the Federalists' fight to ratify the Constitution, three men, Alexander Hamilton, James Madison, and John Jay wrote a series of essakys published in three New York newspapers. The articles were not intended to present all sides. The purpose of the articles was to win the support of people to ratify the Constitution. These articles have been considered by some to be the single most important work written in defense of the Constitution. This may be on of the first examples of 'political spin' in our young nation. The 2nd amendment states as follows:A well regulated militia, being necessary to the security of a free state, the right of the people to keep and bear arms, shall not be infringed. The represntation of different interests in the government are expressed in these articles along with guarantees of the government's willingness to protect basic rights such as the right to bear arms.

The three branches check and balance each other, thus none of them can grow so powerful as to threaten the liberties of the people. Michael Montagne

No, the Federalist Papers were written in 1787-1788, after the Framers signed the Constitution, but before enough states had ratified the Constitution so it could replace the Articles of Confederation.

Alexander Hamilton, future Secretary of the Treasury under George Washington, wrote 52 of the essays.

James Madison, future President of the United States, wrote 28 of the essays.

John Jay, future first Chief Justice of the Supreme Court, wrote 5 of the essays.

They were large land owners, wealthy merchants, and professionals who were in support of the Constitution.

Article of Confederation

The Federalists papers challenged the conventional political wisdom of the 18th century when they asserted a large republic offered the best protection of minority rights.

yes because they still think that the government might abuse its power yet the government is still standing

John Jay wrote five of the Federalist Papers: 2-5 and 64. His essays primarily discussed foreign relations and the hazards of the country being broken into smaller confederacies or states without a strong central government.

If you will *read* those two essays (I'm sure your teacher has provided you with copies) I'm sure you will find the answer right in front of you. Michael Montagne

Mostly Alexander Hamilton

The Anti-Federalists did not like the new strength the central government would possess. Additionally, the constitution did not have a Bill of Rights when the states were in the ratifying process.

Alexander Hamilton. Hamilton wrote 52 of the 85 essays.
