1.) The group that believed that only a powerful government could safeguard liberty is the Federalists. To determine this, you can look at the beliefs and arguments put forth by the Federalists during the time of the Constitutional Convention and the ratification of the Constitution. They argued in favor of a strong central government that could protect the rights and liberties of the people.
2.) The group that believed that people needed the protection of a national government is also the Federalists. Again, you can refer to the Federalists' beliefs and arguments, which emphasized the importance of a strong national government to ensure stability, protect against external threats, and promote the interests of the people.
3.) The group that believed that failure to approve the Constitution would lead to chaos and mob rule is the Federalists. This can be determined by examining the Federalists' arguments during the ratification debates, where they emphasized the need for a strong central government to maintain order and prevent anarchy.
4.) The major Anti-federalist argument against the U.S. Constitution can be summarized as follows: C) Protections for human rights were not in the U.S. Constitution. Anti-federalists were concerned that the Constitution did not explicitly outline and protect individual rights and liberties, which they believed could lead to potential abuse of power by the federal government. They pushed for the addition of a Bill of Rights, which eventually led to the adoption of the first ten amendments.
5.) When the founders wrote "to form a more perfect Union," they meant that the creation of the Constitution aimed to create a stronger and more effective government than the Articles of Confederation. The phrase suggests that the founders sought to improve upon the deficiencies and weaknesses of the previous system of government by establishing a framework for a united nation that could better address the needs and challenges of the people. Option B, "A court system would be formed to resolve disputes between citizens," does not accurately capture the meaning of "to form a more perfect Union" in this context.
