□ the desire of the states to surrender power to the national government
□ the strength of contending interests that sought to change the balance of power between the nations and the states
□ the actions of some states to secede from the union

Explanation:

The strength of contending interests that sought to change the power - balance between the nation and the states has been a key factor in the evolution of the American federal structure as different groups push for more power at different levels. Also, the country's changing needs, such as during economic crises or wars, have led to shifts in the balance of power between the federal and state governments. The states generally do not desire to surrender power, and secession actions are more extreme events rather than continuous forces in evolution.

Answer:

B. the strength of contending interests that sought to change the balance of power between the nations and the states
D. the country's changing needs
