Question: who was the spouse of the politician that wrote the majority of the federalist papers?

full_context: Document 1: Federalism: Federations often employ the paradox of being a union of states, while still being states (or having aspects of statehood) in themselves. For example, James Madison (author of the US Constitution) wrote in Federalist Paper No. 39 that the US Constitution "is in strictness neither a national nor a federal constitution; but a composition of both. In its foundation, it is federal, not national; in the sources from which the ordinary powers of the Government are drawn, it is partly federal, and partly national..." This stems from the fact that states in the US maintain all sovereignty that they do not yield to the federation by their own consent. This was reaffirmed by the Tenth Amendment to the United States Constitution, which reserves all powers and rights that are not delegated to the Federal Government as left to the States and to the people.

A two - volume compilation of these 77 essays and eight others was published as The Federalist: A Collection of Essays, Written in Favour of the New Constitution, as Agreed upon by the Federal Convention, September 17, 1787 by publishing firm J. & A. McLean in March and May 1788. The collection was commonly known as The Federalist until the name The Federalist Papers emerged in the 20th century.

Document 5: The Federalist Papers: ``Federalist No. 10 ''is generally regarded as the most important of the 85 articles from a philosophical perspective. In it, Madison discusses the means of preventing rule by majority faction and advocates a large, commercial republic. This is complemented by`` Federalist No. 14'', in which Madison takes the measure of the United States, declares it appropriate for an extended republic, and concludes with a memorable defense of the constitutional and political creativity of the Federal Convention. In ``Federalist No. 84 '', Hamilton makes the case that there is no need to amend the Constitution by adding a Bill of Rights, insisting that the various provisions in the proposed Constitution protecting liberty amount to a`` bill of rights''. ``Federalist No. 78 '', also written by Hamilton, lays the groundwork for the doctrine of judicial review by federal courts of federal legislation or executive acts.`` Federalist No. 70'' presents Hamilton's case for a one - man chief executive. In ``Federalist No. 39 '', Madison presents the clearest exposition of what has come to be called`` Federalism''. In ``Federalist No. 51 '', Madison distills arguments for checks and balances in an essay often quoted for its justification of government as`` the greatest of all reflections on human nature.''
Document 6: Federalist No. 51: Federalist No. 51, titled: The Structure of the Government Must Furnish the Proper Checks and Balances Between the Different Departments, is an essay by James Madison, the fifty - first of The Federalist Papers. It was published on February 8, 1788, under the pseudonym Publius, the name under which all The Federalist papers were published. One of the most famous of The Federalist papers, No. 51 addresses means by which appropriate checks and balances can be created in government and also advocates a separation of powers within the national government. One of its most important ideas is the often quoted phrase, ``Ambition must be made to counteract ambition ''and its`` if men were angels'' argument is famous.

Document 10: The Federalist Papers: The Federalist (later known as The Federalist Papers) is a collection of 85 articles and essays written (under the pseudonym Publius) by Alexander Hamilton, James Madison, and John Jay promoting the ratification of the United States Constitution. Seventy - seven were published serially in the Independent Journal and the New York Packet between October 1787 and August 1788.

Document 11: The Federalist Papers: The authorship of seventy - three of The Federalist essays is fairly certain. Twelve of these essays are disputed over by some scholars, though the modern consensus is that Madison wrote essays Nos. 49 -- 58, with Nos. 18 -- 20 being products of a collaboration between him and Hamilton; No. 64 was by John Jay. The first open designation of which essay belonged to whom was provided by Hamilton who, in the days before his ultimately fatal gun duel with Aaron Burr, provided his lawyer with a list detailing the author of each number. This list credited Hamilton with a full sixty - three of the essays (three of those being jointly written with Madison), almost three - quarters of the whole, and was used as the basis for an 1810 printing that was the first to make specific attribution for the essays.

He was a conservative member, with close ties to members of the so-called "Family Compact". After several attempts at reelection, he retired to local politics. In 1844, he became a member of the township council and was reeve in 1851.
