Step-by-step explanation:

C) Rhode Island, because it feared a new constitution would give too much power to the federal government.

The Constitutional Convention was held in Philadelphia, Pennsylvania from May to September 1787. It was attended by delegates from 12 of the 13 states (all except Rhode Island). Rhode Island refused to send any delegates to the convention because it feared that a new constitution would give too much power to the federal government and infringe on the sovereignty of the states.
