O by explaining how the Constitution would require a bill of rights

Answer 1

The Federalist Papers generated support for ratifying the Constitution primarily by explaining how the national government would not weaken the states but instead provide a framework for a functional and balanced government. However, none of the options listed accurately reflect this point.

The best associated option from the list is:

• by explaining how the Constitution would protect states' rights.

The Federalist Papers emphasized the importance of a strong federal government while arguing that it would protect the rights and sovereignty of the states, using a system of checks and balances to ensure that no single entity had too much power.
