My mom says its B is she correct?

I agree with your mother, but you should read your text materials and stop guessing at these answers.

Aw Man thanks

To determine the correct answer, let's analyze the options:

A.) Both believed in a strong federal government: This statement is not accurate. The main difference between Federalists and Anti-Federalists was their stance on the power of the federal government. The Federalists, such as Alexander Hamilton and James Madison, believed in a strong central government. On the other hand, the Anti-Federalists, including Thomas Jefferson and Patrick Henry, opposed a strong federal government and advocated for stronger state governments.

B.) Both believed they represented the common good: While both groups believed they were acting in the best interest of the country, this statement does not represent a commonality specific to the Federalists and Anti-Federalists.

C.) Both believed state governments should hold ultimate power: This statement accurately reflects a common belief held by both the Federalists and Anti-Federalists. While they differed on how much power the federal government should have, both groups acknowledged the importance of state governments in the political structure.

D.) Both believed a strong federal government would cause chaos: This statement is not accurate. The Federalists believed that a strong federal government was necessary for effective governance and to prevent chaos, while the Anti-Federalists were concerned that too much power in the hands of the federal government would limit individual liberties and lead to tyranny.

Based on the analysis above, the correct answer is C) Both believed state governments should hold ultimate power.
