With the Constitution needing approval from nine of thirteen states, the press was inundated with letters about the controversial document. Celebrated statesmen Alexander Hamilton, James Madison and John Jay weighed in with a series of essays under the pseudonym “Publius,” arguing that the proposed system would preserve the Union and empower the federal government to act firmly and coherently in the national interest. https://padlet.com/koshute/FP1301/wish/231652332 2018-02-14 18:38:47 UTC https://padlet.com/koshute/FP1301/wish/231652332 The main purpose of The Federalist Papers was to explain the newly proposed constitution (we had a first constitution called The Articles of Confederation) to the people of New York in the hopes of encouraging them to ratify the new constitution in the upcoming ratifying convention. They cogently detailed the deficiencies of the Articles of Confederation and the need for a stronger federal government, and then explained the specific elements of the proposed constitution. m213600 https://padlet.com/koshute/FP1301/wish/231652474 https://www.quora.com/What-are-the-purpose-of-the-federalist-papers-How-were-they-written

Since nine states had to ratify the new Constitution to make it legal, these letters, which would later be called the Federalist Papers, were written to encourage New York to support this plan.In the letters that became the Federalist Papers, the three men addressed the concerns that they had heard raised against the proposed Constitution, including the issue of states rights versus federal rights. The Federalist Papers also provide a glance into the original intention behind the Constitution, being written by several of the founding fathers who helped craft it.While Hamilton, Madison, and Jay all wrote some of the letters, Alexander Hamilton wrote two-thirds of them. He was the driving force behind the project and invited the other two men to join him. Others, like William Duer, did not help write the Federalist Papers, but still defended the Constitution as ''Philo-Publis,'' or ''friend of Publis.'' The letters seem to have been effective, as the US Constitution was ratified by New Hampshire in 1788, the ninth state to do so.

The Constitution was controversial. It became the target of articles and public letters written by opponents of the Constitution. Opponents thought it went against states rights and/or no individual rights (Bill of Rights wasn't a part of the Constitution at this time) To combat this, John Jay, Alexander Hamilton, and James Madison wrote a series of essays each entitled "The Federalist" which was published in newspapers that interpreted and defined various portions of the Constitution. The purpose of doing this was to explain the Constitution to American citizens and their representatives in the various legislatures debating on whether to approve it or not. Over the centuries, the US Supreme Court and lawyers debating in front of the court, have cited the Federalist Papers when trying to decide what the Constitution means on a certain topic. John Jay of New York eventually wound up being the 1st Chief Justice of the US Supreme Court. Alexander Hamilton was George Washington's aide while in the Continental Army and later became the 1st US Secretary of the Treasury. He founded the Federalist Political Party. Hamilton was killed in that famous duel with US Vice President Aaron Burr in 1804.

There ensued a nationwide debate over constitutional principles, and the press was inundated with letters condemning or praising the document, among them these articles, signed “Publius.”The three men—chief among them Hamilton, who wrote about two-thirds of the essays—addressed the objections of opponents, who feared a tyrannical central government that would supersede states’ rights and encroach on individual liberties. All strong nationalists, the essayists argued that, most important, the proposed system would preserve the Union, now in danger of breaking apart, and empower the federal government to act firmly and coherently in the national interest. Conflicting economic and political interests would be reconciled through a representative Congress, whose legislation would be subject to presidential veto and judicial review. https://padlet.com/koshute/FP1301/wish/231653422 http://www.history.com/topics/federalist-paper]]> 2018-02-14 18:41:02 UTC https://padlet.com/koshute/FP1301/wish/231653422 The Federalist Papers was a collection of essays written by John Jay, James Madison, and Alexander Hamilton in 1788.The essays urged the ratification of the United States Constitution, which had been debated and drafted at the Constitutional Convention in Philadelphia in 1787.The Federalist Papers is considered one of the most significant American contributions to the field of political philosophy and theory and is still widely considered to be the most authoritative source for determining the original intent of the framers of the US Constitution. https://padlet.com/koshute/FP1301/wish/231653523
