The Anti-Federalists were led by figures such as Patrick Henry, George Mason, and Richard Henry Lee. They opposed the ratification of the U.S. Constitution, arguing that it would create a strong central government that could threaten individual liberties and state sovereignty. They supported the addition of a Bill of Rights to ensure the protection of individual freedoms and to limit the powers of the federal government.
