Below are views for and against ratification of the Constitution.
1
The Constitution will create a national
government more tyrannical than the
British government ever was. Our
individual liberties will be under a
constant threat. We need better safe-
guards than the assurances of the
Constitution's supporters.
2
We must have a stronger national govern-
ment to protect our interests against
foreign powers and domestic unrest. The
separation of powers and federalism will
sufficiently curb the ambitions of the new
national government.
Which conclusion can be drawn from these views?
A. The proposed Constitution lacked a bill of rights.
B. The proposed Constitution guaranteed free speech.
C. The proposed Constitution had no national executive.
D. The proposed Constitution strengthened state governments.
