Federalist Papers The Federalist Papers Alexander Hamilton wanted to help the ratification of the ‘new’ Constitution, in 1787, so he decided that he would write and publish articles in order to explain the concepts of this Constitution. James Madison and John Jay were two other contributors that Hamilton added to help defend the new Constitution by writing articles as well. Although they are not part of the Constitution or legal documents, The Federalists Papers gained much popularity in the midst of the ratification of the Constitution. However, the ratification occurred with a small influence from these arguments. These Papers have been very important in American history because of the vital and genuine explanation of the Constitution.

These concepts consisted of human lives, interests, federalism, and separation of powers.
