Answer:

The correct answer to the question: Which of these reasons was NOT a basis for the Anti Federalists´ opposition to the new Constitution, would be, D: It was a bundle of compromises.

Explanation:

The discussion that arose over whether the newly drafted Constitution of 1787 should be ratified, or not, was one of the issues that made the beginnings of the newly formed independent nation, a bit difficult. While Federalists argued the validity of the bases on which the Constitution had been built, the Anti-Federalists discussed that one of the main issues with it was that it did not have a Bill of Rights. Another was that it made individuals vulnerable to the power and might of the government and it weakened the states. Finally, it was argued that it had been drafted by the empowered, the wealthy and not the majority of the people. Given these arguments, and despite them, the Constitution was signed and ratified in 1787 and it became the law of lan, albeit with the addition of the much desired Bill of Rights, and some of the changes requested by Anti-Federalists.
