Answer 2

The correct answer is A) Anti-federalist that opposed a strong central government.  

The Republican-Democratic Party was created from a coalition of Anti-federalists that opposed a strong central government.

Thomas Jefferson and James Madison founded the Republican-Democratic Party in 1792 as a medium to oppose the Federalist ideas that believed in a strong centralized government for the new nation, proposed by Alexander Hamilton and the Federalist party. Madison and Jefferson believed that a strong centralized government could have the risk to turn into a dictatorship, and opposed to that idea. They considered that a Bill of Rights would impede excesses in the government and defended the citizen’s natural rights.
