D. Both A and C are correct
And you think it's ... ?
The correct answer is D. Both A and C are correct.
The Federalist Papers were a series of essays written by three of the Framers of the United States Constitution, namely Alexander Hamilton, James Madison, and John Jay. These essays were written under the collective pseudonym "Publius" and were originally published in New York newspapers between 1787 and 1788.
The main goal of the Federalist Papers was to persuade the public, particularly in New York where the ratification of the Constitution was uncertain, to support the ratification of the Constitution. The authors sought to provide a clear explanation and defense of the principles and ideas put forth in the Constitution, addressing concerns and objections that were raised by opponents of the Constitution.
Therefore, the Federalist Papers were both written to persuade the public to support the ratification of the Constitution (option A) and were written by three of the Framers under the pseudonym Publius and published in the New York newspapers (option C).
