Answer 1

Answer:

c.The Constitution lacked a bill of rights.

d.Anti-Federalists opposed the concentration of power in a central national government instead of in the states.

Explanation:

Before the United States Constitution was finally drafted at the Constitution Convention in 1787, the Anti-Federalists in 1786 did not support the ratification of the Constitution because of the following reasons:

1. They believed that the central government will be too strong and thus override individual and liberty

2. They also did not support the ratification of the Constitution because, at the time, there was no Bill of Rights that will safeguard individual liberties and civil rights.
