| | The '''Federalist Papers''' were a series of articles published anonymously in a New York newspaper during 1787-1788 to encourage New York to ratify the [[U.S. Constitution]]. They were also collected as a book titled ''"The Federalist"'' published as 2 volumes in 1788 (''see image'') and reprinted in later years. These articles, 51 by [[Alexander Hamilton]], 29 by [[James Madison]] and 5 by [[John Jay]], are often used today in interpreting the Constitution. All three authors wrote the articles under the pen name "[[Publius]]". | | The '''Federalist Papers''' were a series of articles published anonymously in a New York newspaper during 1787-1788 to encourage New York to ratify the [[U.S. Constitution]].
