Best Answer

The Federalists wrote a series of editorials and had them published in newspapers across the country, and as pamphlets, which argued for the ratification of the Constitution. Historians now call these The Federalist Papers.

First, John Jay, Alexander Hamilton, and James Madison wrote a group of papers called the Federalist (sometimes mistakenly called the Federalist Papers). Second, the federalists promised that a Bill of Rights would be added to the Constitution after ratification.

They only had to convince the delgates. The "public " had no input in the process. Nor could they vote for the new Congress or President.
