Answer: The series of articles written in 1787 urging Americans to oppose the ratification of the proposed United States Constitution was known as Federalist.
Step-by-step explanation:
Federalist dealt with establishment and power of government's judicial part.
Alexander Hamilton was the person who wrote Federalist. He was the first Secretary of Treasury.
Some states opposed this as there was not full clarity on the limit of power being exercised by government (Bill Of Rights).
Virginia and New York agreed to this ratification only after they had surity from Federal that they will include clarifications on limit of goverment power.
