Bigger LOL, "FEDERALIST" was the name of the Paper the arguments were published in. Not the stand of the proponents of the Constitution.

Even greater LOL is reserved for the anti-Constitutionalists who named their Papers the Anit-Federalist while supporting the concept of States being taxed through the artifice of "Quotas" by a Federal</b Government under the Articles of Confederation.

A_G, I have the utmost respect for your knowledge on Constitutional matters but my book says :"The Federalist consist of 85 essays that originally appeared in several New York newspapers between the autumn of 1787 and the spring of 1788".

It sez several news papers so if that is wrong, you need to give me a reference or two.
