5. Which is NOT a reason the anti-federalists want a Bill of Rights added to the Constitution?) A. to guarantee rights to citize
icang [17]

<em>C. To say that the rights listed are the only rights citizens have.</em>

Explanation:

The Anti-Federalists wanted to have a weak government, as they felt like having a strong government would result in an abuse of power. They often associated having a strong government with British tyranny.

The Articles of Confederation was the United States' first constitution. It was very weak and gave little to no power to the federal government. The government could not tax the states, enforce laws properly, regulate trade, draft soldiers, etc. The Anti-Federalists agreed with this, but the Federalists wanted to amend the Articles and thought having a strong government meant having a strong country.

Eventually, the Articles of Confederation was going to get reworked during the Constitutional Convention of 1787, but it ended up getting scrapped and the United States Constitution was created instead. The Anti-Federalists did not agree with this and wanted to have a Bill of Rights to protect the citizens from the power of the government.

The Federalists deemed the Bill of Rights unnecessary but wanted to please the Anti-Federalists, so the Bill of Rights was created. It guaranteed the rights of the citizens and protected the rights of the states from the federal government. It also set up the rules for due process, which is respecting the legal rights of citizens and not abusing power.

The Anti-Federalists did not say anything about that the rights listed are the only ones that the citizens have. The Bill of Rights gives all of the power to the citizens that are not otherwise stated to go to the federal government.
