Answer 2

Answer:

All of the above

Explanation:

These are all reasons why many Americans opposed a strong national government. After independence, the government had to be rebuilt, and it was difficult for people to decide how to do so. Many felt that the main problem of the British government was that it was so distant, it could not understand the needs of people. A strong national government could have some of the same problems. Moreover, a strong national government could be expensive. Instead, many wanted the states to hold the most power.
