Believed the national government created by the constitution would be too powerful and would eliminate states' power. a.federalists b.anti-federalists

Correct  B. Anti-Federalists

Explanation/context:

The Anti-Federalists opposed ratification of the US Constitution.  The Articles of Confederation, in place prior to the ratification of the Constitution of the United States of America, had granted stronger authority to the states.  Patrick Henry and other Anti-Federalists were concerned about too much power winding up in the hands of the federal government and its executive branch, thus allowing a small number of national elites to control the affairs of the USA.  They feared this also would diminish the rights and freedoms of individual citizens.

The Bill of Rights, laid out in the first ten amendments to the Constitution, provided some reassurance to Anti-Federalists after the fight over ratification, because these amendments to the Constitution served to guarantee that individuals' rights would be protected under federal law.

Lamark suggested that organisms can acquire traits which benefit them without any genetic means. He suggested that a change was gradually introduced into organisms of a species during their lifetime and this change could then be seen in the offsprings.

This idea was wrong because an organisms characteristics cannot change in his lifetime.

The theory of Lamarck's inheritance can be disregarded by our knowledge about hereditary genetics.
