    D. Speaker 3

    Explanation:

    During the debates over the ratification of the newly proposed U. S. Constitution, two political parties emerged. The first party, who endorsed the new Constitution, was called the Federalist, while those who wanted to modify it were called the Anti-Federalists. The Anti-Federalists mainly opposed to the document because they believed that it gave too much power to the central government and did not specifically protect people's rights; they feared that the government would abuse of its powers if a bill of rights was not established, so they firmly advocated one.

    In the end, a Bill of Rights was created, consisting of the first 10 amendments to the Constitution that are still enforced nowadays.

    The answer would be D. Speaker 3

    This is because anti-federalists do not want the strong national government, they want to be more on the citizens side or the small state side. So, this in turn would make them want to keep the bill of rights.
