question

This question refers to the following information.
"Some men look at constitutions with sanctimonious reverence, and deem them like the ark of the covenant, too sacred to be touched. They ascribe to the men of the preceding age a wisdom more than human, and suppose what they did to be beyond amendment….But I know also, that laws and institutions must go hand in hand with the progress of the human mind. As that becomes more developed, more enlightened, as new discoveries are made, new truths disclosed, and manners and opinions change with the change of circumstances, institutions must advance also, and keep pace with the times."
Thomas Jefferson, 1816
Which of the following best describes a contributing factor in the crafting of the United States Constitution?

choices

  2. The weaknesses of the Articles of Confederation led James Madison to question their efficacy and prompted a formation of the Constitutional Congress in 1787
  3. Difficulties over trade and foreign relations led to a repeal of overly restrictive tariffs required by the Articles of Confederation.
  4. Washington's embarrassing failure at the Whiskey Rebellion led to Federalist demands for a new framework for federal power.
