Explanation:

Before the United States Constitution, there was the Articles of Confederation. The Articles of Confederation was very weak and gave little to no power to the government. The government could not tax citizens, they had to ask the states for money, this made it so they had trouble paying war debts. The government also couldn't regulate trade or create and enforce laws properly without the approval of many states.

The Anti-Federalists preferred the Articles of Confederation. Many of the Anti-Federalists felt as if a strong central government was threatening and reminded them of British tyranny, so many wanted to take matters into their own hands.

The Federalists wanted to create a new constitution that gave power to the government. They believed that having a strong government was a sign to having a strong country, and they thought that the Articles of Confederation was doing more harm than good.

After the United States Constitution was created, the Anti-Federalists felt like it was a threat to liberty as the government now had power.
