D) None of these

Answer 1

The Federalists were supporters of the Constitution and favored a strong central government, while the Anti-Federalists opposed the Constitution and favored stronger individual states.

Step-by-step explanation:

The Federalists were supporters of the Constitution and favored a strong central government.

They believed that a strong government would be better for national defense and economic growth. They were primarily wealthy and well-educated landowners, businessmen, and former military commanders.

The Anti-Federalists, on the other hand, opposed the Constitution and favored stronger individual states. They feared that a centralized government would consolidate all power and undermine the states' ability to make their own decisions.
