Answer:
True!
Explanation:
"The Spoils System was also based on the democratic principle that anyone who held an office for too long became corrupt and led Andrew Jackson to advocate rotation in office. Jackson was a 'man of the people' and firmly believed that there were too many aristocratic, career politicians in the upper-class Congress that were out of touch with the American public."
There's a lot of dispute over why Constantine chose Byzantium as the new capital, but the general population seems to agree that it was likely because Byzantium was more easily defensible against attackers. The Balkans on the West proved difficult for attackers to pass over. Also the city was located on the water which not only allowed for trade via ships, it also allowed for naval defense.

Yes, what that person said before me !
The correct answer is A. To explain why rights were being reserved for citizens rather than the government.
Indeed, the context of the Bill of Rights was that the articles of Confederation that were used to regulate relations between the states were insufficient as the federal government that was supposed to enforce them was actually weakened by them. The Philadelphia Convention was organized to fix these articles but it was finally decided that they would be replaced with the Constitution. However, the great fear of Anti-Federalists was that such Constitution would give too much power to the President and thus it had to be counterbalanced by strong Individual rights for American Citizens. Thus, this particular Fifth Amendment was intended to establish several constitutional rights and judicial protections for American citizens such as:
- The Right to be judged by a Grand Jury of one’s peers.
- The Infamous crime clause.
- The Double Jeopardy Clause (right not to be tried twice for the same offense).
- The Right not to be forced self-incriminate legally.
- The Due Process Clause (right not to be arrested, prosecuted or incarcerated without valid legal justification and trial).
- The Takings Clause (the right not to be dispossessed of one’s property arbitrarily or without proper monetary compensation).
