Patrick Henry and other Anti-Federalists were concerned about too much power winding up in the hands of the federal government and its executive branch, thus allowing a small number of national elites to control the affairs of the USA.  They feared this also would diminish the rights and freedoms of individual citizens.  They wanted a Bill of Rights in the Constitution to assure that rights and freedoms would not be compromised in any way.

The Bill of Rights, laid out in the first ten amendments to the Constitution, provided reassurance to Anti-Federalists after the fight over ratification. The US Constitution was ratified in 1788.  The Bill of Rights was created in 1789 and ratified in 1791.

The Bill of Rights protects rights and freedoms such as:

  • freedom of speech
  • freedom of the press
  • freedom of assembly
  • rights of the accused
  • due process under the law

Which phrase describes the most likely historical and cultural context of a story that begins with a description of an astronaut
FromTheMoon [43]

Answer:

C). Exploration and adventure in the 21st century

Explanation:

The phrase 'Exploration and adventure in the 21st century' most aptly details the historical, as well as, cultural context of a narrative that begins dealing with an astronaut climbing into a spaceship as it informs the readers about the time period, society, and background in which the story is set in. The context primarily functions <u><em>to educate the readers about the key thought/sense in which the story is developed and how the historical and cultural background affects the meaning of the text which comprehends their understanding.</em></u> Thus, <u>option C</u> is the correct answer.
