The Federalist (also known as The Federalist Papers) is a collection of 85 essays written by John Jay, James Madison, and Alexander Hamilton in 1787–1788. These essays were published to support the ratification of the United States Constitution and explain the philosophy and reasoning behind its key provisions.
