The correct answer is B) they were written to gain support for the Constitution.

The statement that is true of the Federalist Papers is "they were written to gain support for the Constitution."

The Federalists Papers of 1778 were written by Federalists Alexander Hamilton, John Jay and James Madison, under the synonym of "Plubius." They were 85 documents that supported the arguments to pass the United States Constitution. The Federalists supported the creation of a strong central government although their rivals, the antifederalists -led by Thomas Jefferson- opposed a strong federal government.

the younger son of the frankish prince charles martel and his wife rotrude, pepin's upbringing was distinguished by the ecclesiastical education he had received from the monks of st. denis. succeeding his father as the mayor of the palace in 741, pepin reigned over francia jointly with his elder brother carloman. pepin ruled in neustria, burgundy, and provence, while his brother carloman established himself in austrasia, alemannia and thuringia. the brothers were active in suppressing revolts led by the bavarians, aquitanians, saxons, and the alemanni in the early years of their reign. in 743, they ended the frankish interregnum by choosing childeric iii, who was to be the last merovingian monarch, as figurehead king of the franks.
