Answer 1

The power that led the Antifederalists to urge for a Bill of Rights was primarily related to the potential for the federal government to wield significant authority, particularly through the veto power over acts of Congress. Antifederalists were concerned that a strong central government with an executive that could override legislature decisions would threaten individual liberties. They advocated for a Bill of Rights to protect personal freedoms and limit governmental power.
