Explanation:

The Anti-Federalists were a political coalition that, following the debates over the newly proposed Constitution, refused to ratify the document because they believed that it gave too much power to a central government, did not provide for specific limitations to government scope and did not secure fundamental individual liberties such as the freedom of speech, of the press, to assembly, to have a fair trial, among others. It was not until the Federalists agreed to add a Bill of Rights to the Constitution, that the Anti-Federalists ratified it.
