The Federalist Papers are a collection of articles that were published by newspapers in New York from late 1787 through early 1788. Published originally under the pseudonym PUBLIUS, these eighty-five essays were written by Alexander Hamilton, John Jay, and James Madison to explain the benefits of the proposed Constitution to the people, and to defend it against its many critics. At issue was a central government binding a federation of 13 states under a common authority and flag. There were many very strong reservations about this proposal. The Anti-Federalists argued that this new government would wield too much power. They did not believe that the separa- tion of powers of the Executive, Legislative, and Judicial branch would protect the interests of the states from corrup- tion at the federal level. They argued that such a government, far from the careful gaze of it's citizens, would wield power just as did the tyrants and monarchs from whom the states had so recently won their freedom. The Federalists argued that the greatest danger to the new states was instability in government, and that this new structure would insure regular and peaceful relationships, a common defense, and a cohesive foreign policy.
