Anti-Federalists opposed the establishment of a national treasury primarily because they feared it would concentrate too much power in the federal government, undermining state sovereignty. They were concerned that a central treasury could lead to financial mismanagement and corruption, ultimately favoring wealthy elites at the expense of ordinary citizens. Additionally, they believed that a national treasury could facilitate oppressive taxation and diminish individual liberties. Overall, they sought to protect the agrarian interests and local governance that they felt were threatened by a strong centralized financial institution.

Hamilton was opposed by the antifederalists, who believed that the US would be better off with the states in power, not a strong central government. The antifederalists were led by Thomas Jefferson. Even though the antifederalists lost the argument, they greatly influenced the first 10 amendments in the US constitution, also known as the Bill of Rights.
