Answer:


\boxed {\boxed {\sf Publius}}

Step-by-step explanation:

The Federalist Papers were a series of 85 essays written by Alexander Hamilton, John Jay, and James Madison. They wrote them to garner support for the new United States Constitution, in hopes of convincing voters to ratify it.

One notable argument the papers made was that a Bill of Rights would be unnecessary. They said if a specific list of rights was created, then only those rights would be permitted.

They were anonymously published under the name Publius. So, that was the pen name given to the Federalist Papers authors.
