Explanation:

To determine which speaker is an Anti - Federalist, we recall that Anti - Federalists were concerned about a strong central government (fearing tyranny, similar to British rule) and wanted to limit government power.

• Speaker 1 wants a government like Britain's (not Anti - Federalist, as Britain had a strong central/monarchical - like system).
• Speaker 2 emphasizes limiting government power, which aligns with Anti - Federalist views (they opposed a strong central government after British tyranny).
• Speaker 3 focuses on choosing good leaders, not related to Anti - Federalist concerns about government power.
• Speaker 4 supports a strong centralized government (opposite of Anti - Federalist views).

Answer:

B. Speaker 2
