Anti - Federalists were concerned about a strong central government. The Constitution aimed to create a stronger federal government. They feared that if the Constitution became law, the federal government (represented by Congress) would gain excessive power over the states, undermining state sovereignty. The other options are incorrect: equal power between Congress and states was not their fear (the Constitution gave more power to the federal government), they were worried about states losing power (not having too much freedom to make laws), and states controlling Congress's laws was not a fear as they thought the federal government would be too strong.
