What did the anti-Federalists demand be included in the Constitution?

The demand for a Bill of Rights by the anti-Federalists was rooted in their concern over individual liberties and the potential for government overreach. Anti-Federalists feared that the newly proposed Constitution created a strong federal government that could infringe upon the rights of citizens. They believed that without explicit protections for individual rights, there was a risk of tyranny. As a response to these fears and to ensure that fundamental rights such as freedom of speech, religion, and the right to a fair trial were protected, they argued for the inclusion of a Bill of Rights. This insistence led to the first ten amendments being ratified shortly after the Constitution itself, establishing crucial protections that address individual freedoms and limit governmental power.
