The presidential power under the Constitution that led the Antifederalists to urge for a Bill of Rights is primarily related to **B. military power, as commander-in-chief**. The Antifederalists were concerned that the power vested in the presidency, particularly as commander-in-chief of the armed forces, could lead to potential abuses and overreach, making it essential to include a Bill of Rights to protect individual liberties against possible governmental infringement.
