Thomas Jefferson. Smart man... The actual quote by Jefferson is "When the people fear their government, there is tyranny; when the government fears the people, there is liberty." A variation of this was written by Alan Moore in the V for Vendetta comic book series in the late 1980s (which was made into a movie in 2005). The quote in this was: "People should not fear their government. Government should fear their people."
When the people fear their government, there is tyranny; when the government fears the people, there is liberty. Thomas Jefferson

Simple answer: the fear of big government. One view that the Antifederalists had was that the majority of power should be held by the states, not the central government. They played on the fear of a repeat of Britain: power in the hands of a few.
The House of Representitives was formed. And still government power was abused.
