Patrick Henry was an Anti - Federalist (he was not in support of the Constitution) because he believed that Americans were not given the liberty, or freedom they ought to have without a bill of rights, which was not originally part of the Constitution. He is famous for his line of a speech "give me liberty, or give me death!" His role in history comes into play in the late 1700's before the Constitution was passed.
