So when the federalists wanted to approve the Constitution, antifederalists said they wouldn't, until the federalists put in a Bill of Rights. So the federalists added the bill of rights, so that the anti-feds would ratify the constitution.
What was the main reason antifederalists opposed ratification of the new constitution?
They believed that the Constitution diminished states' rights.
