Answer 2

C. Speaker 2: The federal government should have more power if we want to be a more effective country than Great Britain

Step-by-step explanation:

One of the main issues in which the Federalist and Anti-Federalists disagreed on during the debates to ratify the newly proposed Constitution was whether the federal government had to be strong or not. For the Federalists, a strong government with enough enforcement powers was necessary to lead the nation and face international issues, but the Anti-Federalists feared that if the government had too much power, it would abuse from it, so, in order to avoid tyranny and protect people's right, the Anti-Federalists advocated for establishing a limited government and a bill of rights that protected people's rights.
