-brutus no. 1
which of the following political parties would have agreed
with the ideological perspectives in the passage when it was
written?
choose 1 answer:
a whigs
b federalists
c progressives
d anti-federalists

Explanation:

Brutus No. 1 was written by an Anti - Federalist. Anti - Federalists were concerned about the size of the proposed federal government under the Constitution. The passage emphasizes the idea of a small - scale democracy (confined to a single city or small bounds) which aligns with Anti - Federalist fears of a large, distant central government. Federalists supported a stronger central government. Whigs were a later political party (not relevant to the ratification era when this was written). Progressives were also a later group (late 19th - early 20th century).

Answer:

D. Anti - Federalists
