The correct answer is public fears that this was the beginning of an hereditary peerage America

Since it is a hereditary society, it means that only a limited number of people can join and the members are mostly descendants from previous members so people feared that they might organize a hereditary society in which only those who are in power might rule. They believed it was undemocratic and would undermine regular people.
