Answer (2)

The Tenth Amendment best addresses the fears of Anti-Federalists about a powerful central government, as it reserves powers not delegated to the federal government to the states and individuals. This amendment limits federal authority and reassures states' rights. Other amendments also protect individual liberties but do not specifically address central government power limits. ;

The Tenth Amendment is the best answer to address Anti-Federalist fears about a powerful central government, as it reserves powers not granted to the federal government for the states and individuals. Other amendments focus more on individual rights rather than limiting the government's authority. Therefore, the correct option is D: the Tenth Amendment.
