What was the major argument against the Constitution by the Anti-Federalists and what was added to alleviate their fears?

History

Answer:  Anti-Federalists argued that the Constitution gave too much power to the federal government, which would diminish the rights of the states and of individuals.  The Bill of Rights was added to the Constitution to alleviate their fears.

Further detail:

The Anti-Federalists had 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.

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, because these amendments to the Constitution served to guarantee that individuals' rights would be protected under federal law.

Answer: Catalogs

Explanation:

In 1872, Aaron Montgomery Ward took advantage of the growing shipping business in America to establish the Montgomery Ward Company.

The company's modus operandi was to showcase goods in a catalog and distribute it to people who would then order the products they liked. The company would then deliver it by rail.

Starting with a single-sheet catalog that offered only 163 items, the company grew to serve 3 million customers by the year 1904 and are still in existence today.
