The Anti-Federalists feared a. a strong local government. b. a strong state government c. that the people could become too powerful and disrupt the job of the government. d. that the national government would become too powerful and limit personal rights.

Answer 1

D is the correct answer.

The Anti-Federalists were opposed to a strong Federal government. Their main fear was that a strong federal government would become too powerful and would infringe on the rights of the states and the individuals in the states. This was especially worrisome for them as they were coming from a system where they were ruled by a Monarchy across the ocean.
