Question

Which of the following statements best summarizes a major Anti-federalist argument against the U.S. Constitution? (5 points)

Congress lacked the power to enforce its legislation.
Foreign powers would not respect the U.S. Constitution.
Protections for human rights were not in the U.S. Constitution.
States were given too much power over the federal government.

Answer 1

C.

Protections for the human rights were not in the U.S. Constitution

That's b/c they (Anti-federalist) want there to be a Bill of Rights and then some of the Anti-federalists would agree to the ratification of the Constitution.

Answer 2

The best option from the list would be that "Protections for human rights were not in the U.S. Constitution," which is why the Anti-Federalists insisted on there being a Bill of Rights.
