B. Speaker 3
This is because the third speaker is the only one who calls for a defining document and a fairly strong central government.

Hope this helps!

Answer:

Speaker 3: The government should be fairly powerful, as long as its powers are clearly laid out in a governing document.

Step-by-step explanation:

The speaker 3 talks about how the government is not supposed to do more than what is meant to do. The meaning of its existence should be put in a document so the government could never become more than what the founders wanted it to be, which is how the government is supposed to be contained.

In the US, we have the constitution.
