The correct response is:

by explaining how the Constitution would protect states’ rights.

The Federalist Papers, particularly those written by James Madison, Alexander Hamilton, and John Jay, argued in favor of the new Constitution and addressed concerns about the balance of power between the national government and the states. They emphasized that the Constitution would not undermine state powers but rather create a system that would protect them within a strong federal framework.
