Explanation:

1. The quote refers to the American Revolution against a powerful leader, which relates to the idea of avoiding a strong - centralized executive power, similar to concerns in the context of the formation of the US government. So it matches with the idea of being cautious about an overly - powerful executive (D).
2. The statement about pure democracy with no middle - men or appointments aligns with the concept of a direct form of representation like the House of Representatives where members are directly elected by the people (B).
3. The focus on money, its use, and people's gain is related to the concept of taxation (H).
4. The lack of guarantee of the right to trial by jury in civil trials is a key aspect related to the Bill of Rights which guarantees such fundamental rights (F).
5. The description of non - elected, long - serving individuals who are not representative of the people is characteristic of the Judiciary in some discussions about its independence and non - democratic (in the sense of direct election) nature (E).
6. The protection of individual liberties is a central idea of the Bill of Rights (F).
7. The statement about something being used as a bargaining token and the preamble's promises not applying to a certain group can be related to the issue of slavery where the promises of the Declaration of Independence and early American ideals were not extended to enslaved people (G).
8. The statement about the inverse relationship between federal and state power is related to the concept of federalism and the balance of power between the federal and state governments, which is an aspect of the idea of an Extended Republic (A).
