Answer:
The Federalist Papers are a collection of 85 articles in support of the ratification of the Constitution of the United States.
The Federalist Papers were published from October 1787 to August 1788 in the New York newspapers The Independent Journal and The New York Packet. A collection of all articles entitled “Federalist” was published in 1788. They are considered not only the most valuable source of interpretation of the Constitution (in the collection the meaning of the provisions of the Constitution is explained by its authors), but also an outstanding philosophical and political work defending federalism as the best political system for a nation.
In the summer of 1787, the Constitutional Convention in Philadelphia developed the text of the Constitution, after which its ratification was required by the state legislatures. The mood among the deputies of the latter was mixed. Opponents of the Constitution openly called for not accepting it. Then, in the fall of 1787, Alexander Hamilton published in the newspaper the first of the articles of the Federalist Papers. Later, with the participation of Madison and Jay, as many as 85 articles were published, although it was originally planned to write 25. The purpose of the articles was to convince the New York State community of the need to adopt the Constitution and thus create a single state from the confederation of independent colonies. The published articles had a wide public outcry, and as a result, on July 27, 1788, the New York Convention ratified the Constitution with an advantage of three votes.
New Hampshire became the ninth state to approve the Constitution in June, but the key States of Virginia and New York were locked in bitter debates. Their failure to ratify would reduce the new union by two large, populated, wealthy states, and would geographically splinter it.
The native Americans were relocated and given reservations where they could settle.
