THE FEDERALIST PAPERS
The Federalist Papers were a series of articles written under the pen
name of Publius by Alexander Hamilton, James Madison, and John Jay.
Madison, widely recognized as the Father of the Constitution, would
later go on to become President of the United States. Jay would become
the first Chief Justice of the US Supreme Court. Hamilton would serve
in the Cabinet and become a major force in setting economic policy for
the US.
The entire purpose of The Federalist Papers was to gain popular support
for the then-proposed Constitution. Some would call it the most
significant public-relations campaign in history; it is, in fact,
studied in many public relations classes as a prime example of how to
conduct a successful campaign
