The Federalist Papers, numbered essays written by James Madison, Alexander Hamilton and John Jay under the shared pseudonym "Publius," were published in two New York newspapers: The Independent Journal and The New York Packet between October 1787 and August 1788. They were intended to encourage the States to ratify the new Constitution by explaining the benefit of uniting under a central government while still retaining a degree of sovereignty.

The essays were later collected into a book and published as The Federalist; they weren't called the Federalist Papers until sometime in the 20th century.

Asked by Wiki User

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.

What is the The Federalist No 10?

Asked by Wiki User

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.

What were the key points that the federalist papers tried to convince people of?

User Avatar

Asked by Wiki User

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.

How did the bill of rights emerge from federalist and anti federalist debates?

Asked by Wiki User

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.

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.

Were there any other writers of the Federalist Papers besides Hamilton and Madison and Jay?

User Avatar

Asked by Wiki User

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.
