Solution

The answer is B: A person who wants to greatly limit the federal government's power.

Explanation for each option:

A. A person who argues that all U.S. states should follow certain national laws - This individual would likely support the ratification of the Constitution, as it establishes a stronger federal government with the power to enforce national laws across all states. Therefore, this person would not support the headline.

B. A person who wants to greatly limit the federal government's power - This person would most likely support the headline, as the protest is against the ratification of the Constitution, which would create a stronger federal government. Those who wanted to limit federal power were typically Anti-Federalists, who opposed the Constitution in favor of maintaining more power within individual states.

C. A person who opposes the weak government established by the Articles of Confederation - This person would likely support the ratification of the Constitution, as the Articles of Confederation created a very weak federal government, and the Constitution was proposed to address these weaknesses. Therefore, this person would not support the headline.

D. A person who believes that the United States should remain part of Great Britain - This perspective is not relevant to the context of the Constitution's ratification, as the issue at hand is about the structure of the U.S. government post-independence, not about rejoining Great Britain. Therefore, this person would not be directly related to the protest mentioned in the headline.
