Answer 1

Patrick Henry was not a Federalist; he was known for his opposition to the strong federal government proposed by the Federalists, in contrast to Washington, Madison, and Hamilton who were in favor of it.

Step-by-step explanation:

The question asks us to identify who among the listed individuals was NOT a Federalist. The Federalist Party was an American political party in the early years of the U.S. The correct answer is Patrick Henry. Patrick Henry was known for his opposition to the strong federal government proposed by the Federalists and is famous for the quote, "Give me liberty, or give me death!" In contrast, George Washington, while never explicitly claiming a party, mostly aligned with federalist policies during his presidency. James Madison and Alexander Hamilton were prominent Federalists; Madison is often called the "Father of the Constitution," and Hamilton was a leading figure in creating the Federalist Party and wrote many of the Federalist Papers which argued for a strong federal government.

Answer 2

Patrick Henry was not a Federalist; he opposed a strong central government, which was a key Federalist position. Thus, the correct answer among the options is Patrick Henry.

Step-by-step explanation:

The student's question asks about the political affiliations of figures from the early period of the United States, specifically inquiring who among a list was not a Federalist. The Federalist Party was the first American political party, which believed in a strong central government, and its prominent members included names like Alexander Hamilton and James Madison. However, one of the individuals listed, Patrick Henry, was not a Federalist; he was known for his strong opposition to the ratification of the Constitution as he favored states' rights and feared that a strong central government would be oppressive. Therefore, the correct answer to the question is b) Patrick Henry.
