Question

Why did Americans accept the Constitution, with its strong national government and powerful executive, after, only a decade earlier, violently revolting against similar British institutions? Why did the Anti-Federalists not violently oppose the new Constitution?

Answer 1

it may be said that British institutions were the state legislature and governors,that is to say there was not a national government of America before its independence. Every colony was independent , except for oversight which the UK government could not enforce low taxes because of it weakness.
