A. Anti-Federalists.

Explanation:

The Bill of Rights are known to be the first 10 amendments in the United States Constitution. This protects citizens freedom, and their freedom from the government, which was a huge problem for the Anti-Federalists. The Anti-Federalists did not want a constitution that gave too much power to the central government, they were scared the government would abuse their power, just like Great Britain did with them, with the strict laws and "taxation without representation." The Federalists did not believe the Bill of Rights was necessary to go along with the U. S. Constitution, but the Anti-Federalists insisted in having one to protect their freedom from the government.

A. Anti-Federalists
