Answer 2

Correct answer choice is :

D) The range of power handed to the national government

Step-by-step explanation:

The Federalists thought that this extension wasn't important, because they thought that the Constitution as it stood only restricted the legislature, not the people. The Anti- Federalists declared the Constitution provided the fundamental state too much control, and without a Bill of Rights the people would be the danger of abuse.
