What was the main concern for the Antifederalists?

Answer 1

The anti-federalists believed that the Constitution would take away critical powers from the states, and warned that without a Bill of Rights the government might also take away the rights of the people that were just won in the Revolution.

Answer 2

The Federalists wanted this: Read the Declaration of Indepence. They mainly wanted freedom from the control of King George (think that was his name) and the parliment, no exessive taxes, the freedom to live and worship as they choose and their own government to rule themselves.

The anti-Federalists wanted to stay under Englands rule and they feared the country could not thrive without English rule or protection from the "Red Coats".

I think you're talking about the revolutionary war, the concerns of the anti-federalists were about the ratification of the constitution. This was long after the revolutionary war.

To answer the original question, the major concerns of the anti-federalists can be summed up like this. The anti-federalists were worried that the constitution did not provide enough protection for the rights of the individual and they were worried about the consolidation of power into one government and the corruption that could be involved with that. The two compromises in this were the Bill of Rights and the system of checks and balances between the three different branches of government we have today.

Answer 3

One of the main fears of the anti-federalists was that the government would become too strong. They also thought the government could affect their personal freedoms.

the lack of a bill of rights in the Constitution
