c. a person who opposes the weak government

d. a person who wants to greatly limit the federal
governments power

Explanation:

The headline is about protesting against the ratification of the Constitution. Those who want to limit federal government power (like Anti - Federalists) would oppose a stronger central government (which the Constitution aimed to create).

• Option A is about remaining part of Great Britain, which is not related to the Constitution ratification protest.
• Option B is about national laws (a more powerful central government aspect), which is contrary to the protest.
• Option C is about opposing the weak government of the Articles (so they would support the Constitution, not protest it).
• Option D, wanting to limit federal power, aligns with protesting against a stronger central government (Constitution ratification).

Answer:

D. A person who wants to greatly limit the federal government’s power
