7. Antifederalists criticized the Constitution as

The answer is A. Antifederalists criticized the Constitution as concentrating too much power in the hands of a few.

8. What is taxation without representation? Why did the colonists consider this practice a problem?

Taxation without representation refers to a situation where citizens are taxed by a government without having any representation or voice in that government. The colonists considered this practice a problem because they believed it violated their rights and went against the principle of consent of the governed. They argued that they were being unfairly taxed by the British government, without having any representation or say in the laws and policies that affected them. This lack of representation was seen as an infringement on their fundamental rights as British subjects. It was one of the key grievances that fueled the American Revolution.
