C - ratification of the U.S. Constitution
Explanation:
The founding fathers did not have much experience in government by the time they're creating the early draft of the constitution.
During Washington's term, many officials realize that the constitutions left out a lot of powers that should be belonged to the central government (such as the power to mobilize military and impose taxes)

Not all officials supported this. So, the government was divided into two factions, One faction supported the ratification of the constitution while the other rejected the idea.
