? was a primary concern of the Anti-Federalists during the ratification debates.
GPT-4o mini
A primary concern of the Anti-Federalists during the ratification debates was the **lack of a Bill of Rights** in the proposed U.S. Constitution. They feared that without explicit protections for individual liberties, the new federal government could become too powerful and infringe on the rights of citizens. The Anti-Federalists were also concerned about the potential for a centralized government to dominate states' rights and the overall lack of safeguards against tyranny.

The primary role of Congress in the formal process of amending the Constitution is to **propose amendments**. This can be done in one of two ways:
1. **By a two-thirds vote in both the House of Representatives and the Senate.**
2. **By a national convention called by two-thirds of the state legislatures (though this method has never been used).**
Once an amendment is proposed, it must then be ratified by three-fourths of the state legislatures or by conventions in three-fourths of the states to become part of the Constitution.
