The Federalist Papers are a collection of 85 articles published under the pseudonym Publius during the years 1787 and 1788. They were written by three of the Constitution’s framers and ratifiers, Alexander Hamilton, John Jay and James Madison, to promote the ratification of the United States Constitution.
Milestones in political history and philosophy, the Federalist Papers are essential reading for students, lawyers, politicians, and those with an interest in the history of human rights and the foundation of the United States of America.
It has been frequently remarked, that it seems to have been reserved to the people of this country, by their conduct and example, to decide the important question, whether societies of men are really capable or not, of establishing good government from reflection and choice, or whether they are forever destined to depend, for their political constitutions, on accident and force. —Alexander Hamilton, First Paper

He was more influential than the other three members of Washington's Cabinet, and the financial expert; the Federalist Party formed in support of his policies.
