Answer:

D. They believed it was unnecessary since the Constitution limited the federal government, and each

Explanation:

According to the Philadelphia Convention - a new Constitution for United States provided for a strong government with an extraordinary amount of power given to the president and the senate. The Anti - Federalists charged that the new federal government resembled a monarchy in its concentration of power at the expense of liberty. The Federalists rejected the arguments of the Anti - Federalists by relocating it in the people. They on the other hand argued that since the constitution which represented the people had sought to instruct and control the institutions of government, thus all sovereignty rested with the people and that the Constitution did not need a bill of rights,

The Anti - Federalists held that a bill of rights was necessary to safeguard individual liberty.

Under the leadership of Madison, the first federal Congress attempted to fulfill this promise and proposed twelve amendments to the Constitution. In 1791, ten of them were ratified by the states, and these became the Bill of Rights.

<u>Answer:</u>

<em>D) they believed it was unnecessary since the Constitution limited the federal government, and each</em>

<em></em>

<u>Explanation:</u>

The Federalists were led by Alexander Hamilton. The Federalists were the "first political party" of the United States. They argued that the Constitution didn’t need any "Bill of Rights" as it would "limit the rights" of the people. This would do little good in protecting the rights of the people. Further they argued that the Constitution didn’t require a "Bill of Rights" as the Constitution itself limits the powers of the government and doesn’t allow it to abuse its power. Furthermore the check and balance system of the Constitution assures and guarantees the rights of the people.

Was one of the 30 Bibles used by Isaac Newton Tyndale’s Bible?
Alja [10]

Answer:

The term 'Tyndale's Bible' is not strictly correct, because Tyndale never published a complete English language Bible; instead, a completely translated Bible was completed by Myles Coverdale, who supplemented Tyndale's translations with his own to produce the first complete printed Bible in English in 1535.
