Speaker 1: now that we are independent, americans should create a government that mirrors the government of great britain. speaker 2: after experiencing the tyranny of great britain, americans know how important it is to limit the government's power. speaker 3: our victory in the revolutionary war proved that americans have the wisdom to choose good leaders. speaker 4: as former colonies, the american states are likely to thrive under a system of strong centralized government. which speaker is most likely an anti-federalist

The correct answer is speaker 2. Speaker 2 states that after experiencing the tyranny of Great Britain, Americans know how important it is to limit the government's power. This is a statement an anti-federalist most likely would say and stand behind. In 1787, Federalists were the political force behind the making off the first Constitution of the United States as a free country. Anti-federalists were members of the society that were not represented by the values and beliefs of Federalists. They believed that the country should give the power to the states and to avoid a central government. They also believed that the Constitution was not enough to protect the individual rights of the citizens, and believed in the Articles of the Confederation, which give more power to each different State.
