Answer: C, D, and E.

Step-by-step explanation:

A does not make sense, although the Anti-Federalists did wish to restrain the power of the Federal government.

B does not make sense because Anti-Federalists favored small government.

C makes sense because Anti-Federalists favored small governments and the states having the most power.

D makes sense because Anti-Federalists would fear the concentrated power given to a President and would see it as an attack on states' rights.

E makes sense because Anti-Federalists would favor small and local courts rather than a Federal court system with most of the power.

Answer: A, C, and D

Step-by-step explanation:

While the Anti-Federalists did not support the ratification of the Constitution, their concerns ultimately led to the addition of the Bill of Rights, which addressed many of their fears and guaranteed certain fundamental rights and protections for individuals against the government.
