Explanation:

To solve this, we analyze the context of the Constitutional Convention. The delegates aimed to create a stronger federal government and reduce states' overreaching powers (like coining money, which could cause chaos, or interfering with creditors' rights). "Affirm" (support) and "strengthen" (increase) go against this goal. "Codify" (systematize laws) doesn't fit the power - related context. "Limit" means to restrict, which matches the need to restrict states' power in these areas.

Answer:

D. limit
