Hi there!

The correct answer is D) to prevent abuse of power and tyranny by the central government. Letter D is the correct choice because it explains why the central government was given very little power - the people feared the government would abuse the power they had.

Hope this helps!! :)

What did the Philippines campaign reveal about Japan, whom the United States fought in the pacific during world war 2
ioda

Answer:

The Philippine campaign showed Japan's aggressiveness and perseverance towards battles.

Explanation:

The Philippine campaign showed that the Japanese government, even at a disadvantage, would not so easily win the victory of its enemies of war. This is because the Japanese army has shown itself to be aggressive and persevering in its fight against American forces, even if defeat was almost guaranteed. This showed that Japanese soldiers saw the battlefield as something that represented their honor, for this reason, they would rather die fighting than surrender to the enemy army.
