Step-by-step explanation:

Answer 2

This is an Anti-Federalist point of view

Anti-Federalists claimed that the Constitution gave the central government too much power. They wanted a weaker central government. At first, they opposed the ratification of the Constitution because of the supposed imbalance of powers.

Federals wanted a strong central government as they believed this was the key to a better nation.

The Bill of Rights was proposed to appease the Anti-Federalists.
