Answer:

C. Anti-Federalists were suspicious of a strong central government.

Step-by-step explanation:

The Anti-Federalists were a political coalition that was suspicious of a strong central government and, consequently, strongly opposed the idea of giving it too much power, fearing that a strong government without specific limitations would bring about many civilian injustices, especially toward the middle and working class. Instead, this group promoted that the Constitution had to grant more power to the states and the people, and protect fundamental individual rights, such as the right to express, to assemble, to have a fair trial and to practice the religion they want.
