Answer
A
Power would be too centralized.
B
A bill of rights was included.
C
States would become less powerful.
D
A bill of rights was not included.
E
States would become more powerful.

Explanation

Anti-Federalists worried that the Constitution gave too much power to the national government, making power too centralized and reducing the states’ influence. They also objected that the original Constitution did not include a bill of rights to protect individual freedoms. The choices saying a bill of rights was included or that states would become more powerful do not match their concerns.
