4 0

Answer:

Step-by-step explanation:

Let the smallest integer be x.

Since the 4 integers are consecutive (they come right after the other),

2nd integer= x +1

3rd integer= x +1 +1= x +2

4th integer= x +2 +1= x +3

Sum of the integers= 122

x +x +1 +x +2 +x +3= 122

4x +6= 122

4x= 122 -6

4x= 116

x= 116 ÷4

x= 29

3rd number

= 29 +2

= 31

Answer:

The Federalists wanted a strong government and strong executive branch, while the anti-Federalists wanted a weaker central government. The Federalists did not want a bill of rights —they thought the new constitution was sufficient. The anti-federalists demanded a bill of rights.

Federalists argued that the Constitution did not need a bill of rights, because the people and the states kept any powers not given to the federal government. Anti-Federalists held that a bill of rights was necessary to safeguard individual liberty.
