They argued that a stronger national government was necessary to maintain order, protect liberty, and promote the common good. Therefore, the correct response would be:
by explaining how the national government would strengthen the states (though this specific option is not presented, it captures the essence of the Federalist Papers' arguments).
However, based on the options you've provided, none correctly reflect the central message of the Federalist Papers. If you have to choose from the available options, the closest would likely involve a positive view of the national government, but none exactly match.
