The correct answer is **military power, as commander-in-chief**. The Antifederalists were concerned about the potential for abuse of power by a strong central government, particularly regarding the military authority that would be held by the president. This concern was one of the key reasons behind their push for a Bill of Rights to protect individual liberties and limit federal power.
