Answer: e the American public and many leading Republicans demanded it.
Explanation:
Thanks to yellow journalism twisting the facts of the explosion of the USS Maine at the Cuban capital of Havana in 1898, the American public were overwhelmingly in favor of going to war against the Spanish who tried their best to avoid this because they knew they would suffer defeat.

The answer would be C, Federalists. The Constitution adopted the idea of federalism, the sharing of powers between national and state governments. Followers of federalism were called the Federalists.
<em><u>The Constitution replaced the preexisting legislative document, which was the Articles of Confederation; this document was responsible for the conveyance of legal process within the United States of American – however, many historians classify the Articles of Confederation to be reactionary to the unpleasant conditions under which citizens of the United States lived with regard </u></em>
