Answer:

D

Explanation:

Both sides were very suspicious of each other, and each were afraid that if the other side had more states supporting it, that side would have greater power in congress and would be able to pass laws the other side might not like.

D makes the most sense

Ex: Slave States have 1 state more than the No Slave states. Now the slave states can pass laws they like, and the no slave states can do anything
