Answer:
A. It would allow the delegates to speak openly and honestly with each other
D. It would prevent the delegates from being pressured by the public
Explanation:
A. It would allow the delegates to speak openly and honestly with each other
[] With the secrecy rule, the delegates could speak openly since this would not reach the public. It helped to let them make decisions since there was less pressure from the public (ties into option D).
D. It would prevent the delegates from being pressured by the public
[] If the public didn't know what was going on, they could not pressure
The second and third options do not make sense because the delegates wanted everyone to attend (they also wanted the votes to be as unanimous as possible) and they were not planning specific military strategies at this time.
Have a nice day!
