I think well A or D cause of well my statement the anti federalists had 4 major objections to the constitution what were they???
The Anti-Federalists thought that the constitution would give the national government too much power at the expense of the state governments. They also thought that the necessary and proper clause was too general. Another argument that the Anti-Federalists made was that throughout history, the only places where republican governments worked had been in small communities and that free government requires the active participation of the people. One other reason is that the constitution does not include a bill of rights and they thought a bill of rights is necessary to protect people against the power of the national government.

The Anti-federalists were against ratification of the constitution mostly because
The correct answer is A. State representation proposals.
The Connecticut Compromise, also known as the Great Compromise, was a proposal during the Constitutional Convention of 1787 that resolved the issue of representation in the legislative branch of the new federal government. It proposed a bicameral legislature, with representation in the House of Representatives based on population and equal representation in the Senate, with each state having two senators.
The New Jersey Plan, on the other hand, was a proposal presented by William Paterson as an alternative to the Virginia Plan. It advocated for a unicameral legislature, with equal representation for each state, regardless of population.
The Virginia Plan was a proposal presented by James Madison and Edmund Randolph that called for a bicameral legislature, with representation in both houses based on population or financial contribution.
Therefore, the correct answer is A. State representation proposals.
The correct answer to the first question is B. their experiences under British rule. The anti-federalists were against the ratification of the Constitution primarily because they were concerned that it would create a centralized government similar to the one they had experienced under British rule. They were concerned that this would lead to a loss of individual liberties and state sovereignty.
To arrive at this answer, you can eliminate options A and C. The anti-federalists were not anarchists; they still believed in the necessity of government. They also did not believe that the states should have less power; in fact, one of their main concerns was that the Constitution gave too much power to the federal government. This leaves options B and D. While option D is partially correct (the anti-federalists did have objections to proportional representation), their primary objection was based on their experiences under British rule and the fear of a strong centralized government. Therefore, the best answer is B.
For the second question, the correct answer is A. State representation proposals. The Connecticut Compromise, New Jersey Plan, and Virginia Plan were all proposals regarding the representation of states in the new government. The Connecticut Compromise, also known as the Great Compromise, proposed a bicameral legislature with one house based on population (Virginia Plan) and the other with equal representation for each state (New Jersey Plan). These compromises were crucial in determining the structure and representation of the United States Congress.
To arrive at this answer, you can eliminate options B, C, and D. These options do not accurately describe the Connecticut Compromise, New Jersey Plan, and Virginia Plan. Therefore, the best answer is A. State representation proposals.
