Question

Which of the following group was most likely to oppose the Marburg v. Madison decision?

Answer 1

The group of advocates for states' rights was most likely to oppose the ratification of the new constitution that would overpower the federal government over the states.

Option: (B)

Explanation:

• The need for calling a constitutional convention emerged from the realization that the Articles of Confederation had left the federal government to be a weak agency with negligible powers in its hands.

• As it was clarified that the purpose of the constitutional convention was to draft a new constitution that would establish a strong federal government, it was simultaneously understood that the group of advocates for the states' rights would oppose the ratification of the new constitution owing to the fear of states' rights being snatched away.
