The faction which believed the new Constitution was harmful to the lower class and did not contain sufficient provisions for individual liberties were known as Antifederalists.
The antifederalists were the politicians that believed that a strong central government could be a dangerous form of government for the United States in that it could suppress people's liberties and turn into tyranny. Thomas Jefferson was an antifederalist. They opposed the idea of federalists such as Alexander Hamilton, John Jay, and James Madison, who believed that the best form of government for the country was a strong federal government.
