Answer:

The complaints chosen were: Not able to trade freely  and Unfair taxes.

Explanation:

                                      Open letter to readers

Our country is hundreds of years old, our territory is rich, rich, productive and efficient. Our people are honest, hardworking and ready to take care of their own destiny, their own business and their own prosperity. Amidst all these admirable qualities I wonder: how long will we be subjected to the British abuses that prevent our nation from moving forward.

We are a captive people, as we have no control over our own resources, which have been exploited dishonestly by the British for years. First of all, we must stress that England forbids us to freely negotiate our products, produced and built, planted and harvested by us. This keeps us at the mercy of the English trade, which believes that it has the right to price our work in a way that reduces us and leaves us dependent on England.

We are not a dependent people and we have to reaffirm our supremacy over our products and our autonomy to do business as we see fit.

Not satisfied, England decided to enrich our costs by charging abusive and totally unjust taxes, which are not transformed into services for us but for them. As a result, england is increasingly educated and structured, while we do not have the financial resources to improve education, transportation, communication and countless socioeconomic issues in our country.

This makes me ask you, readers: How long will we accept this type of administration? Will we have to wait thousands of years? Haven't we already been harmed enough by this petty nation? Shouldn't we fight for our defense?

Why did the anti-federalist push for the addition of a bill of rights to the United States Constitution?
lawyer [7]

Answer:

<h2>c. they believed the peoples liberties needed protection from the government</h2>

Explanation:

The Articles of Confederation, in place prior to the ratification of the Constitution of the United States of America, had granted stronger authority to the states.  Patrick Henry and other Anti-Federalists were concerned about too much power winding up in the hands of the federal government and its executive branch, thus allowing a small number of national elites to control the affairs of the USA.  They feared this also would diminish the rights and freedoms of individual citizens.

The Bill of Rights, laid out in the first ten amendments to the Constitution, provided some reassurance to Anti-Federalists after the fight over ratification. The US Constitution was ratified in 1788.  The Bill of Rights was created in 1789 and ratified in 1791.
