Explanation:

Question 12

The Constitutional Convention's ratification debate was between Federalists (who supported the Constitution) and Anti - Federalists (who opposed it initially). Democrats and Republicans, Whigs and Republicans, and the Godzilla - King Kong option are not relevant to this historical debate.

If the President and Vice - President are killed, the Speaker of the House is next in the line of succession (after the Vice - President, then Speaker of the House). The Supreme Court, longest - serving governor, and Secretary of Defense are not in the presidential line of succession in this context.

The Founding Fathers made amending the Constitution difficult (but not impossible) because they wanted to ensure that changes were not made lightly and that there was broad consensus. They didn't want a situation where a small group or a single entity could change the supreme law easily, and they wanted to make sure that the whole country had a similar view on amendments. Option d is a trick question distractor, and option b is incorrect as it's not about regular citizens' power.

Answer:

c. Federalists v. Anti - Federalists
