An Anti-Federalist is someone who opposed the ratification of the United States Constitution during the late 1700s. They believed that the Constitution would create an even more powerful federal government that would threaten the rights and liberties of the people. Anti-Federalists wanted to keep the government decentralized and argued that a strong federal government would lead to tyranny and the loss of state-level autonomy. They also feared that the Constitution would lead to an imbalance of power between the states and the federal government. Their primary arguments against the Constitution were that it lacked a Bill of Rights to protect citizens from the government, and that it created a federal government with too much power. They argued that the government should be limited to specific and enumerated powers and that the states should retain their sovereignty. Anti-Federalists were also worried about the judicial branch, as they feared that it would be too powerful and could be used to oppress citizens.
The anti-federalists were a group of Americans that did not support the move towards a more centeralized-government. They were afraid that it would turn into another monarchy, not a democracy.
Anti Federalist is against the constitution and there side are weak than the federalist side, and the Federalist is for the constitution and they are trying to make the government stronger.
