D. They were written to gain support for the Constitution.

Explanation:

The Federalist Papers were a series of 85 essays published in 1787 and written with the purpose to defend and gain support for the newly proposed U.S. Constitution that had been harshly criticized at the Philadelphia Convention (1787).

In these papers, the authors (Alexander Hamilton, James Madison, and John Jay) addressed constitutional principles, explained the deficiencies of the Articles of Confederation (the former U.S. Constitution) and the details of the proposed Constitution, arguing that its ratification would preserve the Union and empower the federal government to act firmly and coherently in the national interest.
