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.

Answer:

2. They published newspapers to spread the antislavery message.

Explanation:

Among the Quakers, as a reflection of what would later happen in the general sphere, there was an obvious struggle between greed and intense humanism regarding this issue, eventually defeating the latter. George Keith and his followers clearly stated the immorality of slavery. In this sense, it was published in 1673, An Exhortation and Caution To Friends Concerning Buying or Selling of Negroes. It can be considered the first text against slavery in North America. A few years later, in 1688 a group of German Quakers and Mennonites, gathered in Germantown, made public their opposition to human trafficking.

The effort was redoubled in the 18th century. It was a constant work and, for a long time, fruitless because no legislative changes were achieved in the Thirteen Colonies, but that was forming a new mentality that ended up bearing fruit when independence took place. In the middle of the century the figure of the preacher John Woolman stood out. In the Religious Society of Friends in the seventies, Anthony Benezet and Benjamin Rush were meant for their fight against slavery. The first is a key character because with his works he influenced British abolitionists and also in France prior to the Revolution. We are talking about Some Historical Accounts of Guinea, and Short Account of That Part of Africa Inhabited by Negroes. Benezet founded the first anti-Slavery society that would later become the Pennsylvania Abolition Society, in addition to the Black School in Pennsylvania.
