Anti-federalists feared that the new Constitution would create a government that could be as tyrannical as the British had been is a TRUE statement.

Explanation:

In the view of anti-federalists, the system of federalism was in itself a breach of the idea of liberty of the states as they believed that the central government would govern the functioning of the states all the time. They proposed that it was necessary to not allow the system of federalism to come into effect because, as they stated, it would destroy the autonomy of the states and make them powerless subjects of the federal government.
