Question

in the time of the late war being strenuous to defend, secure, and promote the rights and liberties of the people, we spared no pains but freely granted all the aid and assistance of every kind that our civil fathers political leaders required of us.
we are sensible also that a great debt is justly brought upon us by the war and we are as willing to pay our share towards it as we are to enjoy our status in independency.
but with the greatest submission we beg leave to inform your honors that unless something takes place more favorable to the people, in a little time at least one - half of our inhabitants in our opinion will become bankrupt.
when we compute the taxes laid upon us the five preceding years, the state and county, town, and class taxes, the amount is equal to what our estates fairly produce and yield. surely your honors are no strangers to the distresses of the people but do know that many of our poor inhabitants are now confined in jail for debt and for taxes. will not the people in the neighboring states envy of the state, although the massachusetts people boast of their free constitution, their government is such that it devours their inhabitants?
if your honors find anything above - mentioned worthy of notice, we earnestly pray that the state legislature would pass such some way whereby the people might be relieved.

concerns about domestic political unrest in the early united states were lessened by which of the following developments?
a the outbreak of the haitian revolution
b the creation of a stronger central government
c the attempts by native american peoples to find tribal alliances
d the conflict between great britain and france after the french revolution

Explanation:

In the early United States, the creation of a stronger central government was a source of concern for those worried about domestic political unrest. The Articles of Confederation had created a weak central government initially, and when moves were made to strengthen it (such as during the push for the new Constitution), it led to fears among some about potential over - reach and loss of state and individual liberties. The other options are not directly related to domestic political unrest in the early US. The Haitian Revolution was an external event, Native American efforts for self - rule were more about territorial and sovereignty issues rather than causing domestic unrest in the same sense, and the conflict between Britain and France after the French Revolution was an international matter.

Answer:

B. The creation of a stronger central government
