Question

what attitude did the people of the united states share after the american revolution?
they sought advice from the british about parliamentary government and the rules of common law.
they remained suspicious of a strong central government.
they approved of the way the congress handled emergencies.
they were excited by the prospect of a strong new federal authority.

Explanation:

After the American Revolution, the people of the United States had just fought against what they saw as an over - powerful central authority (the British monarchy). The Articles of Confederation, which was the first governing document, created a very weak central government. This shows that there was a general suspicion of a strong central government. The other options are incorrect: they did not seek advice from the British (they had just fought a war of independence from them), the Congress under the Articles of Confederation was weak and not good at handling emergencies (which led to the need for a new Constitution), and they were not excited about a strong new federal authority at first (the push for a stronger federal government came later with issues like Shays' Rebellion).

Answer:

They remained suspicious of a strong central government.
