The correct answer is D) They wanted to increase support for ratification of the Constitution.

The purpose of Alexander Hamilton, James Madison, and John Jay in writing The Federalist Papers was "They wanted to increase support for ratification of the Constitution."

The Federalists Papers were a series of articles written by Jong Jay, Alexander Hamilton, and James Madison under the pseudonym of "Publius," trying to get people to support the recently created US Constitution. Indeed, 85 articles were part of these Federalists Papers that rivaled with the Antifederalists Papers written by prominent politicians like Thomas Jefferson, who opposed to the formation of a strong central government.
