Voters came from an increased number of states. B. Voters feared the federal government had become too powerful. C. Voters sought a government based on fewer local laws. D.

Answer: B. Voters feared the federal government had become too powerful.

Explanation:

In 1796, the Federalist John Adams had been elected as president through an electoral debate that had already addressed the role and size of the federal government. However, by the 1800 presidential election, the voters had become increasingly fearful of the federal government having too much power over the states. In this election, it was the Democratic-Republican Thomas Jefferson who won the presidency with his promise of an agrarian republic far from Adams´s idea of a strong central government.
