Anti-federalists believed the issue of human rights protection should be observed immediately, while federalists wanted to address the issue after the Constitution was adopted

Explanation:

While Federalists advocated the ratification of the Constitution, Anti-Federalists feared that granting too much power to a centralized government could endanger individual rights. Federalists accepted the addition of a number of amendments, which would become the Bill of Rights, in order to gain the favor of the Anti-Federalists who refused to ratify unless the before-mentioned individual rights were preserved.
