Answer 1

The reason that best explains why many Anti-Federalists finally agreed to the ratification of the U.S. Constitution is:

B the addition of the Bill of Rights.

Many Anti-Federalists were concerned about the potential for government overreach and the protection of individual liberties. The promise of adding a Bill of Rights to the Constitution addressed these concerns and helped secure their support for ratification.
