Answer 1

A. Individual rights would be threatened by the creation of a stronger federal government.

Step-by-step explanation:

The main argument used by Anti-Federalists in debates over ratification of the U.S. Constitution is that "Individual rights would be threatened by the creation of a stronger federal government."

This is evident as they eventually asked for the establishment of a Bill of Rights to serves as a means of protecting the Individual and states rights that may be threatened by the creation of a stronger federal government.
