Pretty sure the answer is C
Assuming that the groups you have to choose from are:
- A. Believers in a strong national government
- B. Advocates for states' rights
- C. Supporters of abolition
- D. Proponents of western expansion
Believers in a strong national government (A) were most likely to oppose the <em>Marbury v. Madison</em> decision.
This famous 1803 Supreme Court case opposed William Marbury, backed by ex-President John Adams, and James Madison, backed by President Thomas Jefferson.
Adams was a Federalist, a believer in a centralized, national government.
Jefferson was a Democratic-Republican, a defender of states' rights (B), western expansion (D), and the abolition of slavery (C).
<em>Marbury v. Madison</em> was won by the Democratic-Republicans, because the Supreme Court ruled that Madison had a right to prevent Marbury from getting the job he wanted as a justice of the peace commissioned by the former president.

The Kanagawa Treaty was signed on March 31, 1854 between Commodore Matthew Perry of the United States and the authorities of Japan, in the Japanese port of Shimoda. This treaty ended with 251 years of Japan's isolation and, at the same time, with its policy of exclusion (Sakoku), thus opening the Japanese ports of Shimoda and Hakodate to trade with the United States, guaranteeing the safety of American shipwrecks and establishing a permanent consul.
