The antifederalists opposed the ratification of the constitution because the new constitution a. didn't have a bill of rights that would guarantee basic freedoms. b. divided the nation into north and south. c. didn't expand federal power enough. d. was difficult for the average person to understand.

The correct answer is answer A ("The New Constitution didn't have a Bill of rights that would guarantee basic freedoms").

Anti-federalists believed that the New Constitution wouldn't effectively guarantee individuals liberties such as freedom of speech and religion without a Bill of Rigths.

Many important Federalist figures of the time like James Madison argued that these liberties weren't compromised at all, as the government wasn't allowed to take any actions that it wasn't explicitly allowed to. Also, most states already had a bill of rights of their own, and a Federal one would just be redundant. Mainly to silence these claims, however, the Bill of Rigths ended up being added to the Constitution.
