Answer:

The answer is D: The national government must protect people's rights and property.

READ EXPLANATION IF U DONT TRUST ME CUZ IM CORRECT!! I DID THE QUIZ.

Step-by-step explanation:

Well if you read the First Inaugural Address of Andrew Jackson, selected quotes that the question provides you will see that it says at the end:

As long as our Government is administered for the good of the people, and is regulated by their will; as long as it secures to us the rights of person and of property, liberty of conscience and of the press, it will be worth defending. "

Now lets look back at the question. Its asking what is required of the national government for it to be worth defending. If you read the bolded words they say administered for the good of the people, regulated by their will, it secures to us the rights of person and of property, liberty of conscience and of the press. This is telling us that the government must care for the people and protect there rights and property. Therefore the answer is of course D The national government must protect people's rights and property.

Why its not the other ones:

Ok so letter A The national government must favor the interests of agriculture over all others is incorrect because agriculture has nothing to do with the government being worth defending. Also it doesn't talk about agriculture in the passage it provides.

Letter B is also incorrect because it only talks about that one time in the passage. Also that is a bad thing that Andrew Jackson would want.

Letter c is also incorrect because the president might not think of all the cons. Also NEVER said that either.

SO THEREFORE THE ANSWER IS:

d. The national government must protect people's rights and property.
