Explanation:

The early politicians who were concerned about the US Constitution adopted in 1787 were known as Anti-Federalists. They opposed the constitution as they considered that it gave too much power to the federal government and were afraid that the strong central government with encroach upon the sovereignty of state government and lead to monarchism. They were led by Patric Henry from Virginia. Despite the resistance by the anti-federalists, the constitution was ratified by five states after debates and compromise. Although anti federalists were unsuccessful they did influence those who wanted to ratify the constitution. Some of the noted anti-federalists were James Monroe, Thomas Jefferson, Patric Henry, and Samuel Adams. Anti-federalists were in support of Bill of Rights for safeguarding individual liberty.
