Answer 1

One of the main reasons why the Anti-Federalists finally agreed to the ratification of the U.S. Constitution was "the addition of the Bill of Rights," since this ensured the protection of peoples' personal freedoms. 

Answer 2

Answer;

B) . the addition of the Bill of Rights

Explanation;

In the ratification debate, the Anti-Federalists opposed to the Constitution. They complained that the new system threatened liberties, and failed to protect individual rights. The Anti- Federalists claimed the Constitution gave the central government too much power, and without a Bill of Rights the people would be at risk of oppression.

Although the Anti-Federalists were unsuccessful in the prevention of the adoption of the Constitution, their efforts were responsible for the creation and implementation of the Bill of Rights.
