Question

The Federalist Papers, written by Alexander
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, 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".
