Hamilton, John Jay, and James Madison, were
intended to
(1) promote independence from Great Britain
(2) persuade voters to keep the Articles of
Confederation
(3) win support for ratification of the Constitution
(4) endorse candidates running for Congress

Answer 1

The Federalist Papers were written by Hamilton, Jay, and Madison to win support for ratification of the Constitution.

Step-by-step explanation:

The Federalist Papers, written by Alexander Hamilton, John Jay, and James Madison, were intended to win support for ratification of the Constitution.

These series of essays, which were initially published in newspapers, were collected and published together as 'The Federalist' in 1788.

They aimed to convince Americans, especially New Yorkers, of the need for a strong central government and to address concerns about the potential for tyranny by emphasizing the system of checks and balances established by the Constitution.

Answer 2

The Federalist Papers, written by Alexander Hamilton, John Jay, and James Madison, were intended to "(3) win support for ratification of the Constitution," since these authors (especially Hamilton) believed that the existing Articles of Confederation were far too "weak".
