Explanation:

Question 12

The Constitutional Convention debates were between Federalists (who supported a strong central government and the Constitution) and Anti - Federalists (who were skeptical of a strong central government). Democrats and Republicans as we know them now didn't exist then, Whigs came later, and Godzilla/King Kong is a nonsense option.

According to the Presidential Succession Act, if the President and Vice - President are unable to serve, the Speaker of the House is next in line (after some other officials, but in this case, the options given, the Speaker is the correct one among them). The Supreme Court, longest - serving governor, and Secretary of Defense are not in the presidential succession order in this context.

The Founding Fathers made amending the Constitution difficult but not impossible to ensure that any amendment had broad support across the country. Option a is wrong as they knew the Constitution might need to change. Option b is not the main reason. Option d is wrong as amending the Constitution is difficult.

Answer:

c. Federalists v. Anti - Federalists
