Anti-Federalists Anti-Federalists objected to the Constitution for many reasons, including the strong central government and the lack of a bill of rights. Led by John Hancock, Patrick Henry & Samuel Adams

2 Major Problems with the Constitution 1.Greatly increased powers of the central government 2.The lack of a Bill of Rights – No freedom of speech, press or religion – No rights of a fair trial
