Excerpt from a speech by george mason

does any man suppose, that one general national government can exist in so extensive a country as this? i hope that a government may be framed which may suit us, by drawing the line between the general and state governments, and prevent that dangerous clashing of interest and power, which must, as it now stands, terminate in the destruction of one or the other. when we come to the judiciary, we shall be more convinced, that this government will terminate in the annihilation of the state governments: the question then will be, whether a consolidated government can preserve the freedom, and secure the great rights of the people.

—george mason, 1788

use the passage to answer the question.

this excerpt is from a speech by a(n) __ federalist / anti- in favor of a strong / weaker central government. he fears that a national government will / the rights of individuals. he will sign / not the constitution.

Anti-Federalist, weaker, threaten, not sign

Explanation:

The Americans who objected to the creation of stronger US federal government and opposed the ratification of the US constitution of 1787 were known as anti-federalists.

The anti-federalists believed that the constitution granted too much power to the federal government and hence it could easily encroach upon the powers of states and the rights of the people. Patrick Henry was the man who led the Anti-federalists, other leaders were James Winthrop and George Mason. Their major contribution was that they got the Bill of Rights added to the constitution.

i thing that the best option is a.they feared it would cause a second economic collapse.

one of the most negatives aspects of the new deal was that it upset the balanced federal budget and led to a huge deficit for the nation while at the same time failed to end increasing unemployment. roosevelt's program, based on keynesian theories of economics, called for massive government spending to stimulate the economy. as he   failed to do this with large tax increases; large sums of money were borrowed to fund new deal programs. when the economy showed some improvement, roosevelt was concerned about inflation, and ordered cuts in government spending. unfortunately, he did so at a time when the new social security tax had cut people's disposable income. businesses were too afraid of spending, and the economy in 1937 was in worse shape than in 1929. at the end of that year, two million people were unemployed.

the topic i chose to write about was " why scuba diving is so popular". the topic is suitable for the audience because it is the easiest to develop and explain, it can be explained in a simpler more conversational manner, it does not require the use of too many technical words, and the final reason for selecting this topic is that it is the one most people can relate to, you might not know too much about scuba diving, but you could probably agree that it is very popular. the purpose of the writing about this topic is to convince more people about the benefits both for the body and the mind that   scuba diving can have on a person. it can you keep fit since it requires a lot of energy when swimming underwater; it also you relax because you forget about the world when you are underwater being mesmerized by the underwater world. i would write this paper in the summer, a perfect time to give scuba diving a try if a person has not done it yet.
