O military power, as commander-in-chief
• the power to carry out the laws passed by Congress
• the power to declare states of emergency without consulting Congress

Answer 1

The correct answer is:

O veto power over acts of Congress

The Antifederalists were concerned about the concentration of power in the federal government and particularly worried about the potential for executive overreach, including the president's veto power which could undermine the legislative branch. Their apprehensions about presidential power contributed to their call for a Bill of Rights to safeguard individual liberties and limit government authority.
