Answer:

d. individual liberties, a strong central government.

Step-by-step explanation:

The debate to ratify the Article of Confederation or to revise it completely was focused on how the power of the power would be divided between the state and federal government. While many people knew that it is necessary for the young nation to have a strong federal government but to ratify it they need the vote of 9 among the 13 states. And the opposition Federal of the abuse of power by a strong central government. To solve these issues a list of checks on the power of the federal government and ensuring civil liberties were added to the constitution in the form of the first Ten Amendments which together called Bill of Rights.
