Question

b)royalists
c)nationalists
d)smaller states
e) federalists

Answer 1

a) Abolitionists
b) Royalists

Answer 2

The closest answer would be d) smaller states.

The smaller states were concerned that their influence would be overshadowed by the big states. This was why the compromise was enacted in the Constitutional Convention that the states would have equal representation n the Senate, and representation by population in the House.

Of course, Royalists would have been opposed to the US Constitution, because they were against US independence; but after the Declaration of Independence they had no influence within the government.

Federalists and nationalists would not have been opposed to the US Constitution, as they were in favor of a national government.

Although it is true that there were a small minority of abolitionists in 1789, they would have no major organized influence against the US Constitution and slavery, at that time. Their arguments were to be brought up in many decades later.
