What reason was given to the federalists to support the constitution?

A, strong government to establish economic stability**?

B, strong government to maintain control over all its states.

C, to define state boundaries.

D, in order to pass laws to bring law and order to the country.

I agree.

There is a better answer.

t’s debatable whether the Federalist Papers had any significant impact on New York voters. Some historians point out that New Yorkers, like those in other states, based their votes on economic interests. Generally, those who stood to gain from a strong central government (such as merchants, shippers, and those who lived on the eastern seaboard) supported the Constitution, while those who would not gain (principally farmers) voted against it.

actually, reading the two choices again, in answer B "to maintain control" was not a reason. So I agree, A is the best answer, but it is not the best answer that could have been offered. see above.

The reason given to the Federalists to support the Constitution was option A: a strong government to establish economic stability.

To arrive at this answer, you can analyze the Federalist Papers. These were a series of essays written by James Madison, Alexander Hamilton, and John Jay with the intention of promoting the ratification of the United States Constitution. The Federalists argued that a strong central government was necessary to address the economic issues faced by the United States under the Articles of Confederation.

The Articles of Confederation, the first governing document of the United States, provided for a weak central government that lacked the authority to regulate commerce or levy taxes. This resulted in economic problems such as currency devaluation, trade barriers, and interstate disputes. The Federalists believed that a strong government would be better equipped to address these issues and establish stable economic conditions.

Therefore, option A is the correct answer: strong government to establish economic stability.
