Why were the Anti-Federalists so powerful during the Constitution ratification process?

The Anti Federalists needed 5 state votes to vote no, while the Federalists needed 9 states to vote yes, 9 of 13 had to approve. Northern states approved, Southern states were divided and were unhappy with the 3/5 comprise. Virginia and New York demanded a Bill of Rights before ratifying it.

Explanation:

The Anti-Federalists feared the national government would hold too much power and that citizens rights would be in danger. They felt the nation did not need a standing army and that the Constitution would not protect individual rights. They wanted a Bill of Rights.
