Explanation:

Anti-Federalist delegates at the Constitutional Convention feared the strong national government established by the Constitution would overstep its authority without explicit protections of individual rights (a bill of rights) to limit its power. The other options are incorrect: the government was designed to have shared power with states, women's voting rights were not a core concern in this debate, and the executive branch was already part of the proposed Constitution.

Answer:

O abuse its power.
