Answer 1

C. Anti-Federalists had a range of ideas that have played an important role in discussions about the Constitution.

Step-by-step explanation:

The Anti-Federalists were a group of individuals who opposed the adoption of the United States Constitution, arguing that it would result in a strong central government that threatened the sovereignty of the states and the liberty of individual citizens. They raised a number of concerns about the proposed Constitution, including the lack of a bill of rights, the creation of a strong executive branch, and the potential for the concentration of power in the hands of the wealthy and influential.
