Federalist Papers

Federalists were the supporters of the larger national government as outlined in the constitution. Anti Federalists were the group of people that opposed the ratification of the proposed Constitution in 1787.

The federalist papers were a series of articles that were written for the New York paper. Their purpose was to persuade the anti federalists to ratify the newly published Constitution. Alexander Hamilton, John Jay, and James Madison were the authors of these articles; the most famous of the papers is probably Madison's Federalist No. 10. The articles can still be read, as they are sold in book form as The Federalist.

It was written to win support for the Constitution in New York.

to ratify the Constitution and make the new nation a better place.

Alexander Hamilton's take on the power of the Executive Branch of the United States. Hamilton defends the power of the Presidential veto, stating that the executive branch ought to have the power to veto laws put in place by Congress if he deems those laws not in the interests of the nation. Additionally, Hamilton discussed the presidential salary.

Of all the Federalist Papers written by John Jay, James Madison, and Alexander Hamilton, perhaps the most famous and the one most quoted is Federalist No. 10, by Madison. Many people had argued against the new Constitution claiming that the US would be too large to govern as a democracy (republic) and had too many groups, or “factions,” as political parties were then called. While Madison acknowledged that there were many differing factions, he also indicated that a democratic form of government, using the ideal of majority rule, would tame the factions and cause them to work together as much as possible. He claimed that the republican form of government created by the new Constitution would allow all the factions the room and venues to express themselves and to influence the workings of government by getting their members elected and/or appointed to offices. Minority groups would be protected because the factions would have to negotiate their differences. In this way, the republic would create a system of government in which the majority would rule but the ideas of the minority would have to be taken into consideration. Numerous factions would also mean that no one group would be able to take complete control of the government and this would give rise to what Madison called “politics,” namely, the art of governing.

The Federalist Papers attempted to clarify the goals of the Constitution by stating problems the country faced, and articulating how the Constitution would address and solve those problems. One example would be the need for a coherent national defense.

The essays were addressed, "To the People of the State of New York."

the fedreralist papers were written To support ratification of the Constitution.

James Madison wrote essay #10.

First, the authors explained that a strong government was needed for a variety of reasons, but especially if the United States was to be able to act effectively in foreign affairs. Second, they tried to convince readers that because of the "separation" of powers in the central government, there was little chance of the national government evolving into a tyrannical power. Instead of growing ever stronger, the separate branches would provide checks and balances against each other so that none could rise to complete dominance.

Yo mama...hehe I got no clue I'm only in 7th grade. Chicken nuggets are really good though. Oh and U CAN SUCK MY DICK

They were introduced by James Madison to the First United States Congress in 1789 as a series of constitutional amendments. He felt that the Constitution did not adequately protect the individual rights of citizens. James Madison did write over a third of the Federalist Papers so I guess the answer to your question is yes.

The first essays were published on October 5, 1787 (numbers 10 and 51) and the last was published on June 27, 1788 (number 63). All were signed by the pseudonym "Publius," despite having three different authors (Hamilton, Madison, Jay). They originally appeared in three New York newspapers, the Independent Journal, the New York Packet, and the Daily Advertiser.

An anti-federalist did not believe in the Constitution's ratification. They thought it gave the government to much power, and needed a Bill of Rights.

No. Historians believe Alexander Hamilton, James Madison and John Jay were the only authors of the essays collected as the Federalist Papers. Other people undoubtedly wrote letters and essays supporting ratification of the Constitution, but their work does not appear in the Federalist Papers. There were also a number of men who wrote about the weaknesses of the Constitution and urged the States to reject it. Some of their writing corresponds directly to topics in the Federalist Papers and is loosely collected at the Anti-Federalist Papers.

Primarily James Madison and Alexander Hamilton. John Jay also helped author a few issues.

Alexander Hamilton was one of the leading Federalists. John Adams was another.

In American history, the major and most influential federalists (particularly the writers of The Federalist Papers) were Alexander Hamilton, John Jay, and James Madison.

(llcoll) This kid forgot to add one, Thomas Jefferson..... tsk tsk tsk tsk, little kids....

federalist paper number 17 was done by Alexander hamiliton who wrote about the importance of replacing the then government with the republic. he said this will give a better government

Alexander Hamilton (nos. 1, 6-9, 11-13, 15-17, 21-36, 59-61, and 65-85), James Madison (nos. 10, 14, 18-20, 37-58, and 62-63), and John Jay (2-5, and 64)[1]. They

The Federalist Papers were the "blogs" and discussion sites of the mid-1780's. Released anonymously, they were written by James Madison, John Jay and Alexander Hamilton and published in three New York newspapers; the Independent Journal , the New-York Packet, and the Daily Advertiser.

The purpose of the Federalist Papers was to persuade the people and the various delegates to the Constitutional Convention to vote to approve the Constitution. They were not entirely convincing. The "Anti-Federalists" such as James Wilson and Richard Henry Lee weren't convinced that a powerful and unconstrained Federal government was desirable.

The two sides eventually compromised. The Federalists believed that no explicit "bill of rights" was necessary, because the Constitution didn't explicitly allow the government to perform certain actions. The Anti-Federalists argued that governments would ALWAYS act to exceed their allowed powers, and certainly we here in the 21st Century can see the evidence.

So the Constitution was enacted with an explicit "Bill of Rights", ten restrictions on the power of the government.

Anti-Federalists were those who opposed ratification of the Constitution of the United States created by the delegates at the Constitutional Convention. The Anti-Federalists feared centralized power, one of the arguments used in declaring independence from Great Britain. They also believed that republican institutions, like the government created by the Constitution, could only survive in small countries. Many Anti-Federalists agreed to drop their opposition to the new government under the Constitution, only when it was agreed that a Bill of Rights would be added by the first Congress.

Hamilton and other leaders who wanted a strong central government banded together to put over their policies. In 1787 they began calling themselves the Federalists. This was the first United States political party. In 1796, anti-Federalists gathered around Jefferson. Members of Jefferson's group called themselves Democratic-Republicans. Northern businessmen, bankers, and merchants supported the Federalists. They believed in a strong national (or federal) government. Federalists held that capital and industry were the basis of a healthy republic and that the federal government should act to protect the country's infant industries. The Democratic-Republican Party drew its followers from planters, small farmers, and artisans. These people wanted government to leave them alone as much as possible. They wanted to limit the federal government's power and leave the most power in the hands of state and local governments. In foreign affairs the Federalists generally leaned toward England, while the Democratic-Republicans sympathized with Revolutionary France.
