Answer:
By January 1776, the American colonies were in open rebellion against Britain. Their soldiers had captured Fort Ticonderoga, besieged Boston, fortified New York City, and invaded Canada. Yet few dared voice what most knew was true — they were no longer fighting for their rights as British subjects. They weren’t fighting for self-defense, or protection of their property, or to force Britain to the negotiating table. They were fighting for independence. It took a hard jolt to move Americans from professed loyalty to declared rebellion, and it came in large part from Thomas Paine’s Common Sense. Not a dumbed-down rant for the masses, as often described, Common Sense is a masterful piece of argument and rhetoric that proved the power of words. Thomas Paine was a firebrand, and his most influential essay — Common Sense — was a fevered no-holds-barred call for independence. He is credited with turning the tide of public opinion at a crucial juncture, convincing many Americans that war for independence was the only option to take, and they had to take it now, or else.Thomas Paine’s Common Sense appeared as a pamphlet for sale in Philadelphia on January 10, 1776, and, as we say today, it went viral. The first printing sold out in two weeks and over 150,000 copies were sold throughout America and Europe. It is estimated that one fifth of Americans read the pamphlet or heard it read aloud in public. General Washington ordered it read to his troops. Within weeks, it seemed, reconciliation with Britain had gone from an honorable goal to a cowardly betrayal, while independence became the rallying cry of united Patriots

Hope this helps
Assuming that the groups you have to choose from are:
- A. Believers in a strong national government
- B. Advocates for states' rights
- C. Supporters of abolition
- D. Proponents of western expansion
Believers in a strong national government (A) were most likely to oppose the <em>Marbury v. Madison</em> decision.
This famous 1803 Supreme Court case opposed William Marbury, backed by ex-President John Adams, and James Madison, backed by President Thomas Jefferson.
Adams was a Federalist, a believer in a centralized, national government.
Jefferson was a Democratic-Republican, a defender of states' rights (B), western expansion (D), and the abolition of slavery (C).
<em>Marbury v. Madison</em> was won by the Democratic-Republicans, because the Supreme Court ruled that Madison had a right to prevent Marbury from getting the job he wanted as a justice of the peace commissioned by the former president.
