The correct answer is D) act slowly and deliberately.
The Founders wanted to fashion a legislative branch that would act slowly and deliberately.
The Founding Fathers of the United States spent many sessions during the Constitutional convention of 1787 in Philadelphia, Pennsylvania, debating on the kind of government that would rule the new nation. Federalists supported a strong central government. Antifederalists were against it because it had the risk of turning into tyranny.
In the end, they created a federal system of three branches to balance power in America under the system of checks and balances. For the Founding Fathers, the Legislative branch would be the creator of laws through a lower chamber or House of Representatives, and an upper chamber or Senate.
