Answer:

To support the writing of the Constitution, the Federalists wrote Federalist Papers.

Step-by-step explanation:

John Jay, Alexander Hamilton, and James Madison, under the pseudonym "Publius", published a collection of articles and essays to urge the ratification of the Constitution. The work became known as the Federalist Papers. In 1788, there were those who believed a constitution would place too much power in the hands of the central government. However, the Papers urged New York delegates to ratify the Constitution, defending the idea that a more powerful - but not tyrannical - central government was necessary to keep the freedom they had fought to gain.
