The “Federalist Papers” mainly argued that the Constitution would ensure that a strong federal government had its power held in check by its three branches.

Explanation:

The Federalist Papers were a series of 85 essays, published in 1787 to explain and defend the newly proposed U.S. Constitution and gain support for its ratification.

Seeing that many opponents held that the new government under the proposed Constitution was too powerful, the authors mainly argued that the Constitution provided many safeguards against tyranny because it was founded under the principle of Separation of Powers, whereby the government power was divided into three branches: the Judiciary, the Legislative and the Executive, which also provided the basis for the Checks and Balances system whereby all branches could check, control and limit the other so no branch abuses from its power.
