The answer is C. The importance of a strong central government. This excerpt clearly inventories the most important reasons why a strong central government is important for the USA:
- "if the Union, as has been shown, be essential to the security of the people of America against foreign danger."
- if it be essential to their security against contentions and wars among the different States."
- "if it be essential to guard them against those violent and oppressive factions which embitter the blessings of liberty, and against those military establishments which must gradually poison its very fountain."
- "The Union be essential to the happiness of the people of America."
All these enumerations reiterate the main idea of the importance of a central government.
