Answer 1

The Anti-Federalists believed that the Federalist plan posed a threat to state governments and to the rights of individuals, and gave too much power to the federal government. So your answer would be B. Why? Autocracy . 1. Government by a single person having unlimited power; despotism. (Despotism is a form of government in which a single entity rules with absolute power. That entity may be an individual, as in an autocracy, or it may be a *GROUP*, as in an oligarchy. 2. A country or state that is governed by a single person with unlimited power. Hope this helped. (:
