Question

what was the anti - federalist stance on peoples rights and the constitution?
○ the constitution did little to protect the rights of citizens.
○ the constitution ensured that the government would be limited in its power.
○ the constitution should remove the social contract, which forced citizens to do things against their will.
○ the constitution gave too many rights to common people.

Explanation:

Anti - Federalists were concerned that the Constitution, as initially proposed, lacked a Bill of Rights. They believed that without explicit protections, the Constitution did not do enough to safeguard the rights of citizens. The second option is more in line with Federalist views (who thought the Constitution's structure limited government power). The third option is incorrect as the Constitution wasn't about removing the social contract. The fourth option is also incorrect as Anti - Federalists were worried about lack of rights protection, not too many rights for common people.

Answer:

A. The Constitution did little to protect the rights of citizens.
