The federalist papers tried to convince people to ratify the United States constitution. The Federalist papers consist of eighty-five letters written to newspapers in the late 1780s. These letters were written by Alexander Halminton, James Madison, and John Jay asserting that the proposed system would preserve the Union and empower the federal government seeking to act coherently in the national interest
