Anti-federalists opposed ratification of the constitution until they were assured that it would not interfere with the natural rights of citizens, which is why they insisted on there being a "Bill of Rights" that explicitly protected these basic rights.

Anti-Federalists opposed ratification of the Constitution until they were assured that individual rights would be guaranteed by a bill of rights.

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. The US Constitution was ratified in 1788.  The Bill of Rights was created in 1789 and ratified in 1791.

WHAT EFFECT DID THE MOUNTAINS HAVE ON THE GREEKS? HOW DID IT IMPACT THE WAY THEY LIVED?
ArbitrLikvidat [17]

Answer:

There was a limit on population

Explanation:

The agriculture was so low because of the type of soil there was and it made the Greeks travel to other colonies that possessed arable land. The mountains separated little communities from others so it made it hard to have just one government since the mountains made the rest of the population divided and isolated from each other. This is why there was two governments for the people divided by one side of the mountains and another for the other side of the mountain. Greece was not really unified when it came to governments because of mountains.

Hope that helps
