What were three issues that anti-federalists had with the new constitution? apush

The Anti-Federalists (or the Democratic-Republicans) believed that the new constitution wouldn't give the states the right amount of rights. They thought the centralized government would be a new form of monarchy. For example, Thomas Jefferson (a Democratic -Republican, who won the election of 1800 becoming our 3rd president) aimed to lower government spending and taxes, giving the power to the states.

Hope this helps :)
