The main argument against ratifying the constitution by the Anti-Federalists was that they thought that the government that would be created would be too powerful and they would just be paving the way for another monarchy like the one that they had just fought so hard to free themselves from in England. They also wanted to add a Bill of Rights before ratifying the constitution and not after.

George Mason had several objections to the constitution. Among them were that the President has no Constitutional Council, the Senate could alter money, and the representation of the people is only a shadow.
