Answer:
<h2>c. they believed the peoples liberties needed protection from the government</h2>
Explanation:
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.
They had the power to pass laws and create taxes
By eighteenth-century standards, the American Revolution was very radical. For the first time, overseas colonies banned their empire to create a republican union. In late 1778, they grasped Savannah, Georgia. During the spring of 1780, they seized Charleston, South Carolina - along with 5,000 Patriot soldiers. That summer, the British crushed another Patriot army at Camden, South Carolina. In 1780, they arrested the British fort at Mobile, Alabama. The next year, they took Pensacola, the capital of British West Florida. In October 1780, at Kings Mountain in South Carolina, the Patriots crushed a Loyalist militia and killed many of the prisoners. As the Loyalists lost men and ground, neutral civilians swung over to the Patriot side.
