Question

Which text was written to help state assemblies and ordinary citizens see the purpose and value of the U.S. form of government?

Answer 1

The Federalist Papers were written to help state assemblies and ordinary citizens see the purpose and value of the U.S. form of government. The papers were a series of essays written by Alexander Hamilton, James Madison, and John Jay between 1787 and 1788, and were published in newspapers in New York in an effort to convince the people of New York to ratify the U.S. Constitution. The Federalist Papers argued in favor of a strong central government, the separation of powers, and the need for a bill of rights to protect individual liberties.
