B. the federal government must be allowed to tax the people.
The authors of the Federalist Papers, such as Alexander Hamilton, James Madison, and John Jay, did not emphasize the federal government's power to tax as a key point in their writings. Instead, they focused on the need for a stronger central government, the weaknesses of the Articles of Confederation, the importance of maintaining the union to ensure political prosperity and security, and the affirmation that the new Constitution confirmed the principles of republican government.
