Answer: C. Some people thought it was unfair to use federal money to build a road that would only benefit a small number of Americans.

Explanation:

At the time there was a lot of questioning about whether or not the federal government was authorized by the Constitution to fund internal improvements, especially considering that would serve only some Americans. Up to that point, most of the country didn´t have proper roads, and the ones that did exist were funded and built by private enterprises, that used them as profit-making toll roads.

The correct answer is the last option: "The State population increased", the United States House of Representatives has a total of 437 seats that are divided according to the population of each State. For example, California's population is 39.54 million which means it has 53 representatives, but  Hawaii's population is 1.43 million so it only has 2 representatives. If, hypothetically, everyone left California and moved to Hawaii and vice versa, then Hawaii would have 53 representatives and California would have 2.
