Answer:

C.

Explanation:

After the American Revolution (1763-1783), some of the Founding Fathers were concerned about the separation of powers of the new government.

It was until the Virginia declaration of Rights (1776) and the Constitution (1788) where specific guidelines were enacted in order to limit the powers of the Federal Government. The Founding Fathers feared that providing the Federal Government of excessive faculties might lead to an Ochlocracy (Mob rule).
