Answer

C

Explanation

Anti-Federalists feared the new national government could threaten individual liberties because the Constitution did not include a bill of rights. They argued that specific protections for freedoms and legal rights should be added before ratification. The Constitution did establish a judiciary, and it divided power among branches, so those were not their main objections.
