Federalist Papers

The Federalist Papers is a collection of 85 essays written in the late 18th century by Alexander Hamilton, James Madison, and John Jay. They were published to promote the ratification of the U.S. Constitution. The essays explain the principles of the Constitution, advocate for a strong federal government, and address concerns about individual rights and state versus federal power. These writings provide insight into the framers' intentions and remain influential in American political thought and constitutional interpretation.
