Question

I'd vote for this new constitution, if it had a bill of rights.
The country is falling apart; we must find a way to hold it together.
I know something must change, but I am afraid of this new system.
I don't want to give up any more liberties; a strong national government is dangerous!

Answer 1

I know for sure its not "I'd vote for this new constitution, if it had a bill of rights." because remember the anti-federalists fought for the bill of rights. the federalists said the constitution should be ratified imidietely to prevent chaos.(lol excuse my spelling). same goes with " I don't want to give up any more liberties; a strong national government is dangerous!". im pretty sure its not "I know something must change, but I am afraid of this new system" because that seems to go with the others. i think its " The country is falling apart; we must find a way to hold it together."

Answer 2

So the answer is The country is falling apart; we must find a way to hold it together.

Step-by-step explanation:

The federalists felt that a strong central power was needed for defense since the first government, which was a Confederacy called the first Continental Congress, was very weak. Washington had a hard time keeping the army together.
