The Federalist Papers were written in 1788 Jay wrote the second, third, fourth, fifth and sixty-fourth articles!.(Five not four articles!.) All except the sixty-fourth concerned the "dangers from foreign force and influence"!. He was only able to submit what he did due to an illness!. Www@QuestionHome@Com
