no they wanted a strong nationalgovernment. They thought individual states would not be able to protect themselves from foreign nations. A strong national government would provide protection, maintain order, regulate trade, and guarantee rights of citizens they declared. The anti-federalists were not supporters of the constitution and they wanted a Bill of Rights which the Federalists said they did not need.
