Answer 2

The correct answer is D) The federal government should be stronger than individual state governments.

Federalists felt strongly about this statement because when the state governments had more power than the federal government under the Articles of Confederation, the country was extremely disorganized. Due to state governments having so much power, there was no national currency, trade was difficult between states, and states were able to ignore federal laws. All of these issues made federalists believe that the federal government should have a stronger role in American society.
