Question

What was the main argument in the Federalist Papers?
The Articles of Confederation should remain.
The federal government was too strong.
The Constitution should be ratified.
A bill of rights should be included.

Answer 1

The main argument in the Federalist Papers was that **the Constitution should be ratified**. The writers, including Alexander Hamilton, James Madison, and John Jay, argued that a stronger central government was necessary to maintain order and stability, address issues related to interstate relations, and provide for the common good. They believed that the Constitution provided a balanced framework that would prevent the abuses of power seen under the Articles of Confederation.
