That's a broad statement, but it's the best answer of the four given for you to choose from.
The power to declare states of emergency
Yes, C is the correct answer. The power to carry out the laws passed by Congress is the presidential power under the Constitution that led the anti-federalists to urge for a bill of rights. The anti-federalists were concerned that without a bill of rights, the President could potentially abuse this power and infringe upon individual rights and liberties.
Yes, you are correct. The presidential power under the Constitution that led the Anti-Federalists to urge for a Bill of Rights is the power to carry out the laws passed by Congress. This power is outlined in Article II, Section 3 of the Constitution, which states that the President "shall take Care that the Laws be faithfully executed."
The Anti-Federalists were concerned that without a clear guarantee of individual rights, the President could potentially abuse this power and interpret laws in a way that violated the rights and freedoms of individuals. They argued that a Bill of Rights was necessary to explicitly protect these individual liberties and place limits on the powers of the federal government, including the President.
