(C) "many of the representatives attending the Constitutional Convention were wary of a strong central government"

Although the highlighted section of the preceding phrase is not grammatically incorrect, it is nevertheless rather complicated, and even if using a preposition [of] to conclude a sentence is not incorrect, it is nonetheless informal.

Only Option C corrects this problem and offers a crisp, short text devoid of any additional mistakes. The sentence produced by Option (A) is irrational. It was not because of "a strong central government" that we became "free from British rule."

With option (B), the phrase is irrational. What had changed from being "free from British rule" was not "the idea of a strong central government."  An incorrect preposition is present in Option (D).

Not toward anything, but toward something, one feels apprehensive. The option (E) results in a fragment. The sentence lacks a major verb.
