Answer: Foreign nations
Explanation:
Gunning Bedford, Jr. was a delegate from Delaware to the Constitutional Convention that aimed to introduce a new constitution that would make the Federal government more powerful in order to increase its effectiveness.
Bradford gained a reputation during the Convention for being bold and commanding as he argued ceaselessly for the rights of smaller states in the Union whom he felt were being marginalised by the larger states.
He even went so far as to say that if this continued, the smaller states would be forced to make foreign alliances in order to protect themselves and their interests.
