The Federalist papers were written between 1787–1788 by Alexander Hamilton, John Jay and James Madison to persuade the citizens of the State of New York to ratify the American Constitution. As was common in those days, these short essays, about 900–3500 words in length, appeared in newspapers signed with a pseudonym, in this instance, ’Publius’. Seventy-seven essays first appeared in several different newspapers, and then Hamilton wrote an additional eight essays designed to complete the job.
