how would a federalist most likely respond to the anti-federalist argument that government is the enemy of liberty?

can you show the map , i'll be able to update my answer

answer; self_ disclosure;

d. i assume the underlined word is "role." reformat if it isn't.

explanation:

role is closest to part because when replacing words, "playing a vital decision," "playing a vital activity," and "playing a vital dollar" don't make logical sense. the only meaningful choice is "playing a vital part."

this fits one of merriam-webster's definitions of role: "a function or part performed especially in a particular operation or process."
