The anti-federalists did not criticize America's new constitution as much as were opposed to it. They were opposed to the concept of central, federal governance; instead they believed that each of state needed to be be strong because they are a bit suspicious about concentrating all the power into one, central government. They were concerned that the Constitution was mostly crafted by the upper-class and thus would minimize the influence of the common people and the poor.
The anti-federalists were the first to raise the concern that the lack a Bill of Rights would take away the people’s right to freedom of speech and religion; however their concerns were reduced with the inclusion of the Bill of Rights.
