Answer 7

There were several issues, mostly coming down to their opposition to a strong central government and protection of the rights of the citizens.

"The Anti-Federalists did not want to ratify the Constitution. Basically, they argue that:

It gave too much power to the national government at the expense of the [states].
There was no bill of rights.
The national government could maintain an army in peacetime.
Congress, because of the `necessary and proper clause,' wielded too much power.
The executive branch held too much power. Meeting Room

Of these complaints, the lack of a bill of rights was the most effective. The American people had just fought a war to defend their rights, and they did not want a intimidating national government taking those rights away again. The lack of a bill of rights was the focus of the Anti-Federalist campaign against ratification."
