Why did the antifederalist oppose the constitution?

They were afraid that too much power would be vested in a central government. Also, they opposed it because there was no Bill of Rights.


Was Thomas Jefferson an antifederalist?

Technically, no. What is often confusing is that Jefferson would come to oppose much of the legislation put forth by the Federalist party of Alexander Hamilton. There is a difference between the Federalists of Constitutional Convention era and the Federalists that came to dominate the Washington and Adams administration. Jefferson, served as Washington's Sec of State and Madison was the primary author of the Constitution. These two individuals would later oppose much of Hamilton's policies and vision of the role of the new Federal Government. Hence, I think the confusion as to why one might think of Jefferson as being an Antifederalist.
