Explanation:

From the excerpt of Cecelia M. Kenyon, historian, “Men of Little Faith: The Anti-Federalists on the Nature of Representative Government,” 1955

It can be concluded that by the 1790s the ideas of the anti-federalists contributed most directly to the "Resistance of western farmers to federal oversight."

This was evident in what happened or events such as the Whiskey Rebellion in 1794, which showed the readiness of western farmers to resist federal taxation on the beliefs of the American Revolution, specifically the idea of going against taxation without local representation.

On the other hand, the federal government defended that the taxes were the lawful manifestation of Congressional taxation powers.
