Answer 1

The correct response is:

by explaining how the Constitution would protect states' rights.

The Federalist Papers, particularly authored by Alexander Hamilton, James Madison, and John Jay, aimed to address concerns about the potential for a strong central government to undermine state authority. They argued that the Constitution provided a framework for a balanced government that preserved individual rights and the role of states.
