Describe the federalist papers and letters from the federal farmer and identify their authors and state the principal purpose for which each it was written

The Federalist Papers is a collection of 85 articles and essays written under the pseudonym "Publius." The real authors of these papers were Alexander Hamilton, James Madison and John Jay. The papers were published in October 1787 and April 1788. The main objective of these papers was to promote the ratification of the United States Constitution. The letters from the Federal Farmer were documents written by an Anti-federalist concerning the proposed United States Constitution. They appeared in the form of two pamphlets in November 1787 and May 1788. The identity of the author is unknown, as they were only signed with the pseudonym "The Federal Farmer," but some possible authors include Richard Henry Lee and Melancton Smith. The main purpose of the letters was to criticize the position adopted by the Federalists. They claimed that the Constitution would tear down the sovereignty of the states, and that the federal system would be the end of liberty in America.
