Tucker Robbins · Answer 2

The correct answer is F) Preamble.

The opening paragraph of the Constitution is called "Preamble."

Delegates of the colonies met at the Constitutional Convention held in the city of Philadelphia, Pennsylvania from May to September 1787 to decide the kind of government that the new nation was going to have. There were sounded debates between federalists such as Alexander Hamilton and John Jay, with antifederalists such as Thomas Jefferson. Federalists supported a strong central government. Antifederalists were against it. Finally, James Madison drafted the Bill of Rights and both parts agreed to sign the Constitution.
