The correct answer is **d) It was unfair to states that did not have many debts.**
Some southern states, such as Virginia, had already paid off much of their Revolutionary War debts and felt that Hamilton's plan to assume state debts favored states with larger debts, particularly those in the North. This perception of unfairness contributed to the opposition from southern states regarding Hamilton's financial plan.
