The Federalist Papers are a set of 85 articles written in 1787 and 1788 in support of the ratification of the United States Constitution. All of the articles were signed by Publius, an allonym adopted by authors Alexander Hamilton, James Madison, and John Jay to evoke the republican spirit of the Roman consul Publius Valerius Publicola.
