The correct answer is D. Gaining the support of Patrick Henry was important in getting Virginia to ratify the Constitution.
Explanation:
Patrick Henry was a prominent figure in the American Revolution, known and remembered primarily for his speech "Give me liberty or give me death". Together with Samuel Adams and Thomas Paine, he was one of the most influential (and radical) defenders of the American Revolution and republicanism, especially in his allegations of the corruption of government officials and his defense of human rights. He was Governor of Virginia for two terms, from 1776 to 1779 and from 1784 to 1786.
