Kamora · Answer 1

A. The articles of confederation were sufficient for governing united states is the correct answer.

Explanation:

The Anti Federalists were the politicians who were against the US constitution which was adopted in 1787. They considered the constitution to be giving too much power to the central government and were afraid of a single national government. Patrick Henry, James Winthrop, and George Mason were some of the famous Anti federalists. They were afraid of the new constitution because the states were given more power in the Articles of Confederation while it wasn't so in the new constitution. Their influence led to the passage of the bill of rights. They wanted to establish a weak central government as was in Articles of Confederation and supported strong state governments.
