What were the opposing views regarding ratification of the Constitution?
The group of people who didn't support the Constitution were called Antifederalists. Their main problem with the Constitution was that it didn't have a section that listed their individual rights (Bill of Rights). They also argued that the national government was too strong and were afraid of tyranny. Some even thought that they shouldn't have created a new government. Most Antifederalists were small farmers and debtors. Antifederalists wrote articles and pamphlets and spoke out in state conventions. The articles and pamphlets became known as the Antifederalist Papers.

Who were the anti-fedralist and why did they oppose he Constitution?
The Antifederalists, who were actually the ancestors of today's Democratic Party, were a political party which arose, as the question notes, to oppose the ratification or acceptance of the US Constitution. Many of the members believed that their new nation, the United States of America, required a plan of government that was better organized and promoted greater efficiency than the old Articles of Confederation, which was approved by the Continental Congress during the Revolutionary War. But what they saw in the newly-proposed Constitution, and what they DIDN'T see in it, concerned them. The new national government would be very strong and very efficient, but its strength would weaken the states, and this new Federal government could become as harsh as the British government the states had just fought against and defeated. Although the Federalists pointed out that no rights of the states, or of the people in the states, would be taken away, the Antifederalists were quite unhappy because none of the rights they valued were even mentioned, much less guaranteed, in the Constitution. The Federalists, particularly James Madison, Alexander Hamilton and John Jay, (and who would become, respectively, our 4th President, our 1st Secretary of the Treasury, and our 1st Chief Justice of the US Supreme Court), wrote a series of articles known as the Federalists Papers to try to explain the new Constitution to the states in order to win their approval of it. But the papers didn't promise to protect the rights of the states or of the people and the Antifederalists were not satisfied. As a matter of fact, they were so successful in opposing the Constitution that only the quiet promise of the Federalists to add a Bill of Rights to the Constitution (which they did in 1791) made it acceptable to all 13 states. The Antifederalists, who in 1801 brought about the selection of Thomas Jefferson as our 3rd President, would go on to rename themselves first the Republicans, and then the Democratic-Republicans, and finally just the Democrats.

Describe and justify the position of the anti-Federalists regarding the opening phrase of the Constitution you the People of the US?
Differing views on these questions brought into existence two parties, the Federalists, who favored a strong central government, and the Antifederalists, who preferred a loose association of separate states. Impassioned arguments on both sides were voiced by the press, the legislatures, and the state conventions. In Virginia, the Antifederalists attacked the proposed new government by challenging the opening phrase of the Constitution: "We the People of the United States." Without using the individual state names in the Constitution, the delegates argued, the states would not retain their separate rights or powers. Virginia Antifederalists were led by Patrick Henry, who became the chief spokesman for back-country farmers who feared the powers of the new central government. Wavering delegates were persuaded by a proposal that the Virginia convention recommend a bill of rights, and Antifederalists joined with the Federalists to ratify the Constitution on June 25.
