Answer:

D. The constitution should be adopted without changes

Step-by-step explanation:

During the debates to ratify the proposed constitution (1787), the Federalists were the political group that defended it and took action to explain why it should be ratified as it was. They believed that under the new Constitution, the structure of the government was strong enough to lead the nation but was also limited enough so as not to abuse from its power because it was based on the principles of Separation of Powers and Checks and Balances. Therefore, in the beginning, they rejected any attempt to change the Constitution, including the Anti-Federalists' idea of adding a bill of rights that specifically protected people's liberties.
