The Federalist Papers generated support for ratifying the Constitution primarily through option A by explaining how the Constitution would protect states’ rights. The authors, particularly Alexander Hamilton, James Madison, and John Jay, argued that a strong national government was necessary to maintain order and protect the rights of states and individuals, ultimately addressing concerns that the proposed Constitution would lead to a central government that could infringe upon these rights.
