Explanation:

The ratification of the Constitution was a hard task, many Anti Federalists opposed the ratification of it. The main problem that the Anti Federalists pointed out was that the new Constitution created a strong central government, which was the source of fear of the Anti Federalists. They believed that a strong central government had the power to become tyrannical and remove the authority of the states and even nullify citizen’s rights.
