Answer 2

The correct answer is B. Anti-Federalists favored strong state governments.

Step-by-step explanation:

Anti-federalism was a political movement in the United States that advocated the country's confederal structure and was against the 1787 Constitution. The previous constitutional document, known as the Articles of Confederation, provided states with more autonomy. Anti-federalists believed that after the adoption of the Constitution and the approval of a centralized government, state rights and individual rights would be infringed, and the president would receive power comparable to the tyrannical power of the British king before the Revolutionary War. The initiator of the movement was a politician from Virginia, Patrick Henry.
