What role did the Federalists play in the debate over the ratification of the Constitution?
The Federalists played an important role in the ratification of the Constitution, because they were the ones that wrote it. Three of them, who were Alexander Hamilton, James Madison, and John Jay, wrote a series of essays arguing why the Constitution should be ratified, by explaining the reason the Constitution was needed so badly, and the reason why it did not take away their liberty (one prevalent argument of those against the ratification of the Constitution, the Anti-federalists). These essays were published in newspapers, and everyone was thinking about the issue from reading them. These essays were put together into a collection called the Federalist Papers. The Federalist Papers are the reason why the Constitution was ratified, other than their compromise to include a Bill of Rights as demanded by the Anti-Federalists.
