Explanation:

• Question 8: The Constitutional Convention of 1787 resulted in the drafting of the U.S. Constitution. The Revolutionary War ended in 1783, slavery was abolished later (13th Amendment, 1865), and the first political parties formed in the 1790s.
• Question 9: The Bill of Rights consists of the first ten amendments to the U.S. Constitution. It is not the first chapter, preamble, or opening articles.
• Question 10: The Great Compromise (Connecticut Compromise) combined elements of the Virginia (bicameral legislature with representation based on population) and New Jersey (unicameral legislature with equal state representation) Plans.
• Question 11: The Three - Fifths Compromise dealt with representation and taxation based on the counting of enslaved persons (counted as three - fifths of a person). It was not about the president's election, balance of power between branches, or interstate commerce regulation.
• Question 12: Anti - Federalists were concerned about the potential for a too - powerful central government. The lack of a national bank was not a key Anti - Federalist concern (Federalists supported a national bank), the need for a stronger army was more of a Federalist view, and while the absence of a Bill of Rights was a concern, the overarching fear was of a powerful central government.
• Question 13: The Bill of Rights (in the U.S. context) consists of ten amendments.
• Question 14: The 8th Amendment protects against cruel and unusual punishment. It does not address unreasonable searches (4th Amendment), double jeopardy (5th Amendment), or excessive fines (also related to 8th but the main focus is on punishment).
