Answer:
Explanation:
1- The Federalist Papers were a series of 85 articles published in various New York newspapers in 1787/88.
2- They were intended to induce the people of New York State to approve the United States Constitution of 1787 drafted but not yet ratified.
3- The authors of the articles, alluding to the Roman consul Publius Valerius Poplicola under the common pseudonym "Publius" were Alexander Hamilton, James Madison and John Jay, three of the founding fathers of the United States.
4- The texts appeared in 1788 together in the font "The Federalist", from which derives their current name. It refers to the political grouping of federalists who advocated in the constitutional debate to transform the US from a loose confederation into a federal state with a strong, capable executive at the federal level. Since this point of view eventually prevailed, the Federalist Papers are still regarded today as an authentic constitutional commentary of the generation of the founding fathers and beyond as the basic theoretical writing of modern, representative democracy.
