THE FEDERALIST PAPERS
1. The most basic purpose of the Federalist Papers was to convince the public at large to adopt the proposed Constitution and therefore provide for a more perfect union. Throughout the papers, the idea of the more perfect Union takes precedence. The Federalists Papers discuses federalism as a means to achieve free government and also speaks of the lack of federalism under the Articles of Confederation. The three authors of the papers Hamilton, Madison, and Jay each wrote these outstanding letters to show the greatness of the proposed Constitution, and to also bring forth the weakness of the present government. ... The Federalist is called a "bundle of compromises" because all the states that would be part of the proposed union (13) at the time had their own constitutions and laws. ... Each of the Federalist papers was signed under the pen name of Publius so that their identities were kept unknown. ... Hamilton calls for an “energetic government” in Federalist #1 , “the necessity of a government at least equally energetic with the one proposed. ... John Jay explains in papers #2 and #3 that Americans needs a strong government for many reasons. ... Madison supports bicameralism thoroughly in papers #62 and #63.
