Answer:

The correct answer is 3. Anti-Federalists would limit the Federal government strictly to the powers the constitution delegated to it.

Step-by-step explanation:

The federalist movement of the 1780s was motivated by the idea that, under the Articles of Confederation, the government of the United States was too weak, and needed to be modified or replaced. Eventually they got the government to convene a meeting to review the articles. The opponents to its rectification appeared immediately, after the meeting and the approval of the new Constitution.

The opposition to federalism was composed of several elements, such as opposition to the Constitution because the strong power of the national government threatened the sovereignty of states and individuals, which seemed to them an attempt to disguise a "monarchical" power. Some of the antifederalists thought that the Articles of the Confederation gave sufficient power to the central government. Others considered that, although the national government with the Articles was too weak, with the Constitution it would be too strong.

The Anti-Federalists, after a long debate, demanded that the Constitution be included a Bill of Rights of the citizen. As a result of this, once the Constitution was approved, the Congress sent 20 amendments to the states. Ten of those amendments were approved immediately and made known as the United States Bill of Rights. In this way, although the Anti-Federalists could not avoid the approval of the new Constitution, their effort was not completely in vain. Antifederalism thus became an influential group among the Founding Fathers of the United States.
