Best Answer - Chosen by Asker:
George Mason, Patrick Henry, John Hancock, Sam Adams,
Richard Henry Lee!.

Some of these folks were afraid that the new National Government had to much power!. Others, like George Mason
were afraid that there was no Bill of rights protecting the
people's Civil Liberties!. Hope this helps you!.

Chronology of the pro- and anti-federalist papers and how they related to one another and to key events!.
Borden Collection — Morton Borden collected some the best of the anti-federalist papers together, editied all or parts of them into 85 sections, corresponding to the 85 Federalist Papers!.
James Wilson speech — Pro-ratification, but included here because it received wider coverage than other pro-ratification writings, such as the Federalist Papers, and many of the anti-federalist writings were in response to it!.
"Centinel" (Samuel Bryan)
"Federal Farmer" (Melancton Smith!? or Richard Henry Lee!?)
"Brutus" (Robert Yates)
"John DeWitt" (!?)
"Cato" (George Clinton!?)
"Pennsylvania Minority"
