The anti federalists were strongly against the idea of a strong central government, fearing that the government would abuse their power and neglect the rights of the people. For them, a good government was one with a weak center and more power to the states. They also believed in an agrarian economy - one based on agriculture and farming. Additionally, they thought that there was no need to make a Constitution, and that the Articles of Confederation should be improved, not replaced.
