Answer:

B. Former southern slaveholders seeking land and new financial opportunities is the correct answer.

Explanation:

After the civil war westward migration in the US accelerated. People migrated in search of quick profits during the gold and silver rushes. Women also migrated with their families. Most of the men who migrated were single and dependent on services, they worked in the mining industry and the women in saloons, boarding houses, and shops. Other migrated to extract the hides of great bison. During those days bison were common in plains and their hides provided the raw material for clothing factories, it led to a decline of bison from millions to few hundred by the 1880s, with the expansion of railroads bison hunting was replaced with animal ranching on American grasslands. Once slavery was outlawed southern slaveholders also migrated towards the west in search of new opportunities.

How do Federalist 10 and Agrippa Letter, no. 4 present the prospect of freedom and liberty in a large, or "extended," republic l
Setler [38]

Answer: The Federalists 10 supports the idea of a centralized government.

Explanation:

Madison in Federalist 10 argues that it is necessary to have an established government to “break and control the violence of faction” that is those who do not support government administration and oppose legislation. He states that the government can hold the power to ensure that society remains functional saying “a republic… promises the cure”. Madison then argues that the only problem arises from majority factions because the principle of popular sovereignty should prevent minority factions from gaining power.The “Agrippa” letters appear to have been written by James Winthrop, who was register of probate in Middlesex when these letters were written. He argued that the Constitution gave too much power to the federal government, while taking too much power away from state and local governments.

The most important issue at stake in this debate is the question of the future governmental structure of the United States. Would it be one central government or a union of small individual governments. The independent United States was afraid that one centralized government would take away power from the people and it will be too far removed to represent the average citizen, others are afraid that without a strong governmental figure, disorder would ensue.

Nikolay [14]
I found some of the missing information about this question. 

Speaker A: Good government stresses the importance of the nation and accepts the rights of the individual only if the interests of the individual are the same as those of the nation.

Speaker B: The person of the king is sacred and to attack him in any way is to attack religion itself. The respect given to a king is religious in nature.

Speaker C: All human beings are born free and equal with a right to life and liberty. It is the duty of government to protect these natural rights of its citizens.

<span>Speaker D: Our goal will not be achieved by democracy or liberal reforms, but by blood and iron. Only then will we be successful. No nation achieves greatness or unity without the traumatic experiences of war.
