The correct answer is C) the federal government could not force a state governor to return a fugitive.
Until 1987, in cases of extradition, the federal government could not force a state governor to return a fugitive.
For extradition, we understand the faculty that the government of the United States has to surrender a fugitive to other country or state because it has to face criminal charges.
With the Supreme Case of "Kentucky vs. Dennison" in 1860, the federal court did not have the authority to demand the return of a fugitive to another state. This changed in 1987 with the resolution of the case "Puerto Rico v. Brandstand," that overruled the "Kentucky vs. Dennison" case.
I hope this helps. George Washinton had to develop how to start with a knew country and not have the same difficulties that King Gorge the third had. They wanted to make sure that nobody had to much power. They also had to come up with the constitution and the Bill of Rights. John Adams in the other hand was the first Federalist ever elected for president. Thomas Jefferson sponsored the Lewis and Clark exposition to explore the Western territory. James Madison had a big problem when there was a war against Britain in 1813, trying to stop the trade. I hope this helped you.
