The Anti-federalists fear that the new US Constitutional would result in a tyrannical federal (aka central government).

The Anti-federalists were concerned about the power of the federal government due to their experience as British subjects. One of the main reasons why the United States broke away from Britain was due to the powerful central government that implemented taxes without the consent of the colonists throughout the 1760's and 1770's.

The Anti-federalists feared that the new US Constitution gave the federal government too much power and did not give enough power to the state governments and people.

Promotion within napoleon new bureaucracy was

geniusboy [140]

Answer:

based on ability only, not rank or birth

Explanation:

Napoleon Bonaparte was a prominent military leader during the "French Revolution." He reformed the French "bureaucracy" under his leadership by appointing the members according to their abilities and not by rank or birth. This allowed the citizens to have more equal opportunities of being chosen. So, this means that even the middle class were given the chance to be appointed.

Under his leadership, a new kind of aristocracy was made. This was based on "merit in the state service." So, this gave the people in the military and people who hold upper ranks in the civil service to become part of the noble class.

So, this explains the answer.
