Answer:

They did not believe it protected fundamental rights.

Step-by-step explanation:

In the ratification debate, the Anti-Federalists opposed to the Constitution. They complained that the new system threatened liberties, and failed to protect individual rights. ... One faction opposed the Constitution because they thought stronger government threatened the sovereignty of the states.

Hope this helps, I got it right on prepworks
