Explanation:

The passage reflects concerns about the need for a stronger central - government that can provide for the states, defend against encroachment, and be supreme over state constitutions. This led to the development of a new national Constitution to replace the weak Articles of Confederation. The Articles of Confederation already existed before these ideas were expressed. Breaking ties with Great Britain happened before 1787. The addition of a bill of rights was a later addition to address concerns about individual liberties, not directly related to the ideas of a stronger central government in this passage.

Answer:

D. The development of a new national Constitution
