Answer:  The <u>rights</u> of citizens.

Context/details:

Anti-Federalists opposed ratification of the US Constitution.  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.  They wanted a Bill of Rights in the Constitution to assure that rights and freedoms would not be compromised in any way.

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.

Darina [25.2K]

Answer:

"Even today, the need for work is a common reason people move to urban areas."

This sentence, although not inaccurate, is not necessary in order for the rest of the paragraph to be coherent. The sentence states that nowadays, people continue to move for work. However, the passage is not a comparison between the past and the present. It simply wants to inform us of the changes that led to bigger cities. Therefore, you can remove this sentence without seriously altering the author's explanation.
