Supporters of the Constitution, known as Federalists, achieved its ratification through a combination of persuasive arguments, strategic state conventions, and the promise of a Bill of Rights. They emphasized the need for a stronger central government to maintain order and promote economic stability, countering fears of tyranny with assurances of checks and balances. Key figures like Alexander Hamilton, James Madison, and John Jay wrote the Federalist Papers to articulate their views and sway public opinion. Ultimately, their efforts culminated in securing the necessary state approvals, with several states ratifying the Constitution contingent upon the addition of a Bill of Rights.
