Nevada became the 36th state on October 31, 1864, after telegraphing the Constitution of Nevada to the Congress days before the November 8 presidential election (the largest and costliest transmission ever by telegraph). Statehood was rushed to help ensure three electoral votes for Abraham Lincoln's reelection and add to the Republican congressional majorities.[1]
Nevada's harsh but rich environment shaped its history and culture. Before 1858 small Mormon settlements along the border of Utah sustained their communities through faith, but the secular western section stumbled along until the great silver strikes beginning in 1858 created boom towns and fabulous fortunes. After the beginning of the 20th century, profits declined while Progressive reformers sought to curb rampaging capitalism
and its attendant miseries. They imagined a civilized Nevada of
universities, lofty idealism, and social reform. But an economic bust
during the 1910s and disillusionment from failures at social reform and a
population decline of nearly one-fourth meant that by 1920 Nevada had degenerated into a "beautiful desert of buried hopes."[2] The boom returned when big time gambling arrived in 1931, and with good transportation (especially to California metropolitan areas), the nation's easiest divorce laws,
and a speculative get-rich-quick spirit, Nevada had a boom-and-bust
economy that was mostly boom until the worldwide financial crisis of
2008 revealed extravagant speculation in housing and casinos on an epic
scale

Answer:
The correct answer is C, <em>to form a stronger government</em>.
Explanation:
It was during the Shays' Rebellion (1786-1787) that became evident for conservatives that the Articles of Confederation had to be changed.
This rebellion attacked many courts and was widely feared as a moment where masses took for themselves the values of freedom in a way that endangered property and order in the newly born country.
That's why in this context figures like Alexander Hamilton argued for a strong government: to deal with situations like this that threatened the status quo. According to him and other Federalists, the Articles did not have tools for this kind of situation as it was a document where the central government barely had any power.
