The main purpose of The Federalist Papers was to explain the newly proposed constitution (we had a first constitution called The Articles of Confederation) to the people of New York in the hopes of encouraging them to ratify the new constitution in the upcoming ratifying convention. They cogently detailed the deficiencies of the Articles of Confederation and the need for a stronger federal government, and then explained the specific elements of the proposed constitution. The Federalist Papers consist of 85 letters written by Alexander Hamilton, James Madison, and John Jay with all three of them writing under the pseudonym Publius. The three of them split up the subject matter, but John Jay became ill and as a result he contributed only six of the essays while Hamilton and Madison wrote the rest. How effective they were is open to debate, but in terms of the fact that they are in print to this day, and provide perhaps the most accurate presentation of the original intent of the Framers of the Constitution, shows that they did indeed resonate with the public.

Answer:
Sometimes, in late medieval and early France, a gathering termed an 'Estates General' was called. This was a representative body designed to rubber-stamp the decisions of the king. It was not a parliament as the English would understand it, and it often didn't do what the monarch was hoping for, and by the late eighteenth century had fallen out of royal favor. This 'Estates General' divided the representatives who came to it into three, and this division was often applied to French society as a whole.
