The colonial experiences with Great Britain left citizens fearful of centralized authority. This is because the colonial experiences such as being over taxed and completely controlled by a monarchy of Great Britain made citizens fearful of the same thing happening again to them in America.

They didn't fear a national government because they didn't have a concept of what that would be. They came from the world of a king. The king made all the decisions and told everyone what to do. It is only later after the revolution that the fear of a federal government was present. Again, this stemmed from having lived under a king.
