Which people were the Anti-Federalists? (K-12 Learning)

those who feared that the Constitution would create an overly strong central government that would strip the states of their individual powers and rights

those who insisted that no compromises be made during the Constitutional Convention in Philadelphia in 1787

those who believed that the president of the United States should be chosen by the members of Congress, not the people

those who worried that smaller states would refuse to join the union if they were not granted greater representation in both houses of Congress



Answer :

The Anti-Federalists opposed the passage of the 1787 U.S. Constitution because they believed that, in the lack of a bill of rights, the new national government would be overly powerful and harm individual liberty.

Their opposition played a significant role in the First Amendment's and the other nine amendments that make up the Bill of Rights' adoption.The 1787 Constitution Convention drafted the document, which required ratification by nine or more state conventions (and by all states that wanted to take part in the new government). A conflict arose over ratification, with the Federalists supporting a strong union and the Constitution adoption and the Anti-Federalists opposing the establishment of a powerful national government and rejecting ratification.
