This group believed in following the Constitution strictly and saving implied

powers for emergencies,
A. Anti-Federalists
B. Federalists
C. Republicans

Answer 1

Option C, Republicans, is the right answer.

Step-by-step explanation:

The Republican leaders or politicians opposed the Federalist views about government. While the Federalists favored a strong national government, the Republicans favoured a weak national government. Moreover, they were the ones who believed in the strict interpretation of the Constitution and thus rejected the idea of implied powers and argued that the implied powers should be saved for emergencies.
