(Federalist papers were published in 1788, also included James Madison & John Jay, and were specifically written to promote the ratification of the Constitution for context. Alexander Hamilton should be your hero as he advocated for the necessity of a strong federal government as opposed to a loose confederacy of states)

Did the third amendment also have nothing to do with the Revolution and the Quartering Act the British passed in 1765? How about the 1st Amendment or the 4th Amendment for that matter? It seems to me that the Bill of Rights was specifically written to limit the power of the federal government and acknowledge definitive liberties of the people since those were not afforded when America was a British colony, but let’s hear your take on it.
Again, the publishing of the Federalist Papers followed the drafting and signing of the Constitution, quit trying to argue they had any impact on it's signing.

Everything else is just speculation on your part, which you're welcome to, but I'll not waste my time on arguing what amounts to little more than your point of view.
