<em>C. Protect individual liberties.</em>

Explanation:

The Articles of Confederation was the United States' first constitution. It was known for being very weak and giving little to no power to the federal government.

With the Articles of Confederation, the government could not tax the states directly, create and enforce laws properly, draft soldiers, regulate trade, and other important matters. Most of the power was in the hands of the states, which some people preferred.

Anti-Federalists preferred the Articles of Confederation and often associated the government having power with British tyranny. They wanted to keep things how they were and wanted to keep the power in their hands. Federalists wanted to amend the Articles of Confederation and felt as if it was doing more harm than good, they wanted to have a stronger government.

Eventually, the Constitutional Convention of 1787 was called to amend the Articles. This did not go as planned though and they ended up scrapping it altogether. The United States Constitution was created instead, which granted power to the federal government.

The Anti-Federalists were not happy with this and were scared for their rights. <u>They demanded to have the Bill of Rights made, which would protect individual liberties.</u> The Bill of Rights protects citizens and keeps the government in check so they don't abuse their power.
