Federalist Papers

The Federalist Papers are a series of 85 articles, first published serially
in New York city newspapers between October 1787 and Auust 1788. The
articles were intended to explain the new Constitution to the residents of
New York and persuade them to ratify it. The articles were written by James
Madison, Alexander Hamilton, and John Jay who was a nationalist. Madison is
generally credited as the father of the Constitution. Hamilton was an
influential delegate at the Constitutional Convention. John Jay would become
the first Chief Justice of the Supreme Court.

The Federalist Papers serve as a primary source of interpretation of the
Constitution. They also outline the philosophy and motivation of the
proposed system of government, as it was presented by Madison, Hamilton and
Jay. The authors of the Federalist Papers were not above using the
opportunity to provide their own "spin" on certain provisions of the
constitution to (i) influence the vote on ratification and (ii) influence
future interpretations of the provisions in question.
