Question

Which of the following statements reflects the views of a federalist?

Answer 1

The answer is C because the federalists were the ones for the constitution and the anti-federalists were against the constitution.

Answer 2

Answer:

d. "we must not hinder the national government's ability to function"

Explanation:

The Federalist Party was the first political party in U.S. history. Being led by Alexander Hamilton and other leaders, mainly bankers, northern businessmen, and merchants, the party often put the interest of business above that of agriculture, and favored a strong national government and the idea that the Constitution was open to interpretation, thus the government had additional powers to those outlined in the Constitution. Therefore, since they strongly believed that a strong government with enforcement powers was best to lead the nation, one statement that reflects the views of a federalist is "we must not hinder the national government's ability to function."
