who were anti federalists
Answer by Tyialang. Confidence votes 30. Anti-Federalists is the name given to the people who did not favor ratification of the United States Constitution. People like Patrick Henry, Edmund Randolph and others who feared that centralized power was an invitation to tyranny, were anti-federalists.am Adams, for example, was opposed to the new Constitution until Massachusetts Federalists agreed to work for a Bill of Rights to be added to the Constitution when it was ratified. The lack of a Bill of Rights was one of the main reasons that the anti-federalists were against ratification.
