federalists and anti - federalists
what was the federalists view of the constitution?
they approved of the constitution.
they would only favor the constitution if major changes were made to it.
they did not favor the constitution.
they would approve of the constitution only if anti - federalists favored it.

Explanation:

To determine the Federalists' view of the Constitution, we recall historical context: Federalists supported the ratification of the Constitution, believing in a strong central government. The option "They approved of the Constitution" aligns with this. The other options are incorrect: wanting major changes (more Anti - Federalist, who wanted a Bill of Rights and more state power), not favoring the Constitution is against Federalist stance, and approval dependent on Anti - Federalists is illogical as they had opposing views.

Answer:

A. They approved of the Constitution.
