Answer 1

weaken or destroy government

Answer 2

Option D, weaken or destroy government, is the right answer.

Step-by-step explanation:

Edmund Jennings Randolph was an attorney and politician from Virginia. He attended the Constitutional Convention to contribute to the creation of a national constitution. He was the one who argued that "if a fair representation of the people can not be secured, the injustice will shake the very foundation of government". This means that the government is unjust if it fails to provide a fair representation.
