JasmineSimmonsgp7012
The Anti-Federalists opposed a lot of the ideas of a strong or "big" central government. Their main concerns included the fact that the constitution before the Bill of Rights contained no language guaranteeing individual rights, they feared that the position of the presidency could eventually evolve into a position more like a king or a dictator, and they didn't like the fact that the rights of the states were being undermined.
