Wikinfo - Federalist Papers. This is a small entry on the Federalist Papers at Wikinfo. If yu are interested in this topic, I would encoruage you to stop by and add to it.
From the site:
The Federalist Papers are a series of 85 articles, first published serially in New York city newspapers between October 1787 and August 1788. The articles were intended to explain the new Constitution to the residents of New York and persuade them to ratify it. The articles were written by James Madison, Alexander Hamilton, and John Jay who was a nationalist. Madison is generally credited as the father of the Constitution. Hamilton was an influential delegate at the Constitutional Convention. John Jay would become the first Chief Justice of the Supreme Court.
The Federalist Papers serve as a primary source of interpretation of the Constitution. They also outline the philosophy and motivation of the proposed system of government, as it was presented by Madison, Hamilton and Jay. The authors of the Federalist Papers were not above using the opportunity to provide their own "spin" on certain provisions of the constitution to (i) influence the vote on ratification and (ii) influence future interpretations of the provisions in question.
