Best Answer

Anti-Federalists were those who opposed ratification of the Constitution of the United States created by the delegates at the Constitutional Convention. The Anti-Federalists feared centralized power, one of the arguments used in declaring independence from Great Britain. They also believed that republican institutions, like the government created by the Constitution, could only survive in small countries. Many Anti-Federalists agreed to drop their opposition to the new government under the Constitution, only when it was agreed that a Bill of Rights would be added by the first Congress.
