1. how did the views of the anti - federalists affect the united states constitution?

Explanation:

Federalists supported a strong central government. They advocated for separation of powers and checks - and - balances. Option C aligns with Federalist beliefs as checks and balances were a key part of their proposed system to prevent any one branch (and thus the federal government) from becoming too powerful. Option A is an Anti - Federalist concern. Option B is incorrect as Federalists wanted a stronger central government, not more state power. Option D is also an Anti - Federalist view.

C. The Federalists believed that a system of checks and balances would keep the federal government from becoming too powerful
