The Federalist Papers were the "blogs" and discussion sites of the mid-1780's. Released anonymously, they were written by James Madison, John Jay and Alexander Hamilton and published in three New York newspapers; the Independent Journal , the New-York Packet, and the Daily Advertiser.
The purpose of the Federalist Papers was to persuade the people and the various delegates to the Constitutional Convention to vote to approve the Constitution. They were not entirely convincing. The "Anti-Federalists" such as James Wilson and Richard Henry Lee weren't convinced that a powerful and unconstrained Federal government was desirable.
The two sides eventually compromised. The Federalists believed that no explicit "Bill of Rights" was necessary, because the Constitution didn't explicitly allow the government to perform certain actions. The Anti-Federalists argued that governments would ALWAYS act to exceed their allowed powers, and certainly we here in the 21st Century can see the evidence.
So the Constitution was enacted with an explicit "Bill of Rights", ten restrictions on the power of the government.
