A. More powers for the federal government and less for the states
B. Detailed lists of what taxes citizens should pay

Answer 1

C. Specific protection of individual rights

Antifederalists wanted a weaker central government because it was reminiscent of the British strong government and their tranny. "Anti-Federalists such as Patrick Henry attacked the Constitution(lack of a bill of rights), suggesting that it would lead to a dangerously powerful national government."
