Question

what documents were written to persuade people to adopt the new constitution?
○ federal reform papers
○ government: the ways and means
○ federalist papers
○ book of human rights

Explanation:

The Federalist Papers were written by Alexander Hamilton, James Madison, and John Jay. Their purpose was to persuade the people of New York (and the nation as a whole) to adopt the new United States Constitution. They explained and defended the principles and provisions of the Constitution. The other options are not relevant to this specific purpose of persuading for the adoption of the new constitution. "Federal Reform Papers" is not a real relevant document for this context. "Government: The Ways and Means" is not a known document for this task. The "Book of Human Rights" is a more general concept related to human rights declarations rather than specifically persuading for the US Constitution adoption.

Answer:

C. Federalist Papers
