-The Federalist Papers is a collection of 85 essays that were written by Alexander Hamilton, James Madison and John Jay in 1787.
-The purpose of these papers was to persuade the citizens of New York to ratify the Constitution. The essays addressed a variety of issues that citizens were were concerned of about the national government.
-Ex: James Madison wrote that the citizens should not fear that the national gov't would become too powerful due to the establishment of the federal system, in which the system would divide national gov't and state gov't, and there would be separate branches of power within the government and each would make sure that they are abiding by the law and not infringing on citizens rights.
-Another Ex: Hamilton pointed out that people's interests could be represented by men who were not their neighbors. Meaning that, a person's interest could be represented by a person who has more extensive knowledge of the world, than the people that are surrounded by them.
-Another Ex: Hamilton said we should not fear tyranny when electing a president because we would elect the representatives that would voice our opinions. "It is easier to control one person, than it is to control many".
-Arguments of the papers were persuasive but whether it changed New York's mind on the subject was unclear. After Virginia ratified the constitution, New York had no choice but to do so as well in 1788. North Carolina followed after and Rhode Island was the last state to ratify, two years after NY's ratification.
