State politicians fearful of a strong central government

Explanation:

Anti-Federalists were a group of people who were against the consolidation of a strong U. S federal government and next objected the ratification of the Constitution of 1787. In this former Constitution, the authority of the states governments was strengthened. Among the reasons why they did not agree with the Constitution the fact that they considered that a more powerful government would risk the sovereingty of the states and also their personal liberties was one of the most important.
