After the American Revolution, two factions arose to create a new government. The Federalists were in favor of the new constitution, but many thought it gave the government too much power. Led by Patrick Henry and his allies, they insisted on a tangible Bill of Rights and severe restrictions on the central government. These were the anti- federalists, and some of their objections are only too evident today.

What were two arguments antifederlists made for rejecting the constitution?

One argument anti-federalists made for rejecting the Constitution was that they viewed the Constitution as giving the national government too much power (which they had just fought a revolution over trying to free themselves from the grasp of a foreign government that had an extremely centralized government) and not enough power to the states. Another argument against the ratification of the Constitution was the use of a president to head the national government. They viewed this as a position where someone could have a lot of power, such as the King or Queen had in England.
