The Federalist Papers (correctly known as The
Federalist) are a series of 85 articles advocating the ratification of
the United States Constitution. Seventy-seven of the essays were
published serially in The Independent Journal and The New York Packet
between October 1787 and August 1788 . A compilation of these and eight
others, called The Federalist, was published in 1788 by J. and A.
M’Lean. The Federalist Papers serve as a primary source for
interpretation of the Constitution, as they outline the philosophy and
motivation of the proposed system of government.The authors of the
Federalist Papers wanted to both influence the vote in favor of
ratification and shape future interpretations of the Constitution.
According to historian Richard Morris, they are an "incomparable
exposition of the Constitution, a classic in political science
unsurpassed in both breadth and depth by the product of any later
American writer." (Summary by Wikipedia)
