The correct answer is B. The President would have too much power within the new government.
The explanation is because at the time the Constitution gave the Government too much power, it did not contain any of the checks and balances on the branches of Government that we have today. In turn, he was a key part of the Bill Of Rights being created, which amended the Constitution.

I hope this helped!!
