The answer is :d.were pleased that slavery would be protected and there would be a bicameral legislature.

At that time, The majority of Georgia's economy was still driven by slave labors, and the new constitution did not include any legislation that would brought change to this situation. They also glad that there would be a bicameral legislature because they would had large number of influence within the government since they have large number of population. This would give them more votes for new future legislation.
