Explanation:

Analyze the first question regarding the Constitution's opposition

The first question asks for the most alarming characteristic of the new Constitution to those who opposed it (the Anti-Federalists). The primary objection raised by the Anti-Federalists during the ratification debates was the lack of explicit protections for individual liberties, which was the absence of a bill of rights.

Analyze Question 20 regarding Anti-Federalist characteristics

This question asks which option does NOT describe the Anti-Federalists. Anti-Federalists were generally small farmers, shopkeepers, and laborers who feared a strong central government and believed smaller local governments were more responsive to the people. They were concerned about a government run by the wealthy elite. Therefore, "Wealthy, educated members of the elite" describes the Federalists, not the Anti-Federalists.

Analyze Question 21 regarding the main proponent of Federalism

This question asks for the main proponent of Federalism. Alexander Hamilton was the leading champion of a strong federal government, co-author of the Federalist Papers, and the chief architect of the Federalist nationalist program.
