The Federalist Papers
Written by Alexander Hamilton, John Jay, and James Madison under the pseudonym “Publius,” eighty-five essays were addressed to the freemen of New York to encourage them to elect Federalists to the New York Convention scheduled to meet on 17 June 1788. Subsequently, these essays were reprinted and circulated throughout the states as the Ratification process unfolded. For a chronology of the publishing and reprinting of these essays, see Printings and Reprintings of The Federalist. Initially appearing as individual essays in several New York City newspapers, they were eventually combined and published as The Federalist in two volumes. A complete introduction to The Federalist can be found here.
