Henry Lee opposed the U.S. Constitution primarily because he believed it concentrated too much power in the federal government, undermining the rights of states and individuals. He feared that a strong central authority could lead to tyranny and the erosion of liberties. Lee also expressed concerns about the lack of a Bill of Rights, which he felt was essential to protect individual freedoms against potential governmental overreach.
