The backcountry of South Carolina opposed the new federal constitution primarily because they felt it favored the interests of the wealthy coastal planters over their own. They were concerned about the potential for increased federal power and taxation, which they believed would further marginalize their agricultural economy. Additionally, many in the backcountry feared that the new government would not adequately represent their interests and would prioritize the needs of the elite. This sense of disenfranchisement contributed to their resistance to the constitution.
