Official answers
- They helped people understand the (U.S.) Constitution.它们帮助人们理解（美国）宪法。
- They supported passing the (U.S.) Constitution.它们支持通过（美国）宪法。
Any one of these answers is accepted unless the question asks for more than one.
Why this is the answer
After the Constitution was written, the states had to approve (ratify) it, and many people were unsure about it. The Federalist Papers explained how the new government would work and argued for adopting it. So they helped people understand the Constitution and supported its passage. Either answer is correct.
