B. an anti-federalist position.

Anti-federalists oppossed the creation of a stronger U. S. federal government, along with opposing the ratification of the 1787 Constitution. In this excerpt, the author is criticizing the article relative to the establishment of the new government, and he is fearful that the President might become too powerful. These fears are compatible with an anti-federalist position.
