Question

With which statement would an Anti-federalist agree?
- checks and balances weaken the government
- too much power is being given to the states
- we must have a strong national government
- a national bill of rights should be adopted

Answer 1

Anti-Federalists would only agree with the statement regarding the Bill of Rights. They believed in states' rights, did not want a strong central government and checks and balances were meant to keep one set of people from holding too much power, not weaken the government as a whole.
