He authored The Federalist Papers

Many accomplishments will remain in the memory of Hamilton. In addition to his many ground-breaking accomplishments, his life was also seen to be interesting enough to inspire the author of an award-winning, nearly three-hour musical. But if Hamilton is remembered for anything, it must be for his support of the US Constitution and for writing The Federalist Papers.

Hamilton was the minority voice in the New York delegation, thus he didn't have a significant presence during the 1787 Convention in Philadelphia. But as one of the three authors of The Federalist Papers, he significantly contributed to the approval of the Constitution. The 85 pieces, which were printed between 1787 and 1788, pushed New York's electorate to ratify the recently proposed United States Constitution. Hamilton, James Madison, and John Jay all used the pen name Publius to pen significant documents. It is impossible to determine how many papers each man wrote because none of them used their true identities. Hamilton is given 51 points by the spiral consensus, Madison is given 29, and Jay is given 5.
