"Let us now proceed to enquire, as I at first proposed, whether it be best the thirteen United States should be reduced to one great republic, or not? It is here taken for granted, that all agree in this, that whatever government we adopt, it ought to be a free one; that it should be so framed as to secure the liberty of the citizens of America, and such an one as to admit of a full, fair, and equal representation of the people. The question then will be, whether a government thus constituted, and founded on such principles, is practicable, and can be exercised over the whole United States, reduced into one state? If respect is to be paid to the opinion of the greatest and wisest men who have ever thought or wrote on the science of government, we shall be constrained to conclude, that a free republic cannot succeed over a country of such immense extent, containing such a number of inhabitants, and these increasing in such rapid progression as that of the whole United States." - excerpt from "Brutus No. 1" written in 1787 Which of these would BEST limit the problems outlined in the excerpt from the "Anti-Federalist Papers" seen here? A) Bill of Rights B) U.S. Constitution C) The Separation of Powers D) Declaration of Independence
Answers
The correct answer is option B.
The US constitution would best limit the problems outlined in the excerpt from " Anti federalist papers " seen here.
Anti federalists were the direct opponents of the American constitution.
They wanted all the 13 states of the USA to be merged and made a great republic like USSR.
The answer for your question is option (B)- U.S. Constitution.
Ant-federalist Papers is the collective name that was given to the works of Founding Father of United States Constitution who concerned only the merits of United States Constitution back in 1787.
Anti Federalists had published a paper that argued a stronger union in a new constitution. They wanted the United States Constitution to be like USSR. However they failed to do so, just because of a stronger counterpart. Even though they failed in their goal, they have made a big contribution shaping the political landscape of United States.
