Which was the major objection of the Anti-Federalists during the debate over the United States Constitution?

While some Anti-Federalists criticized the electoral college for its perceived distance from direct democracy, it was not their major objection compared to the absence of a bill of rights. Their primary focus was on ensuring personal liberties rather than the specific mechanics of presidential selection.

The Anti-Federalists were concerned about the potential for a powerful centralized government but did not specifically oppose the bicameral structure itself. In fact, many discussions centered around the balance of power between the two houses rather than outright opposition to the system.

The structure of the judicial branch was a concern for some, particularly regarding its independence and potential power, but it was not the foremost objection of the Anti-Federalists. Their main focus remained on safeguarding individual rights through a bill of rights rather than critiquing the judiciary's strength or weaknesses.
