Respuesta :

Anti-Federalists believe that it was critically  democratic society to provide constitutional guarantee  a free press because they encouraged an open exchange of ideas.

Answer: Option B

Explanation:

The Anti-Federalists are the people who never wanted a stronger US central government. Since they wanted to avoid the central government from becoming a tyrannical power.

The First Amendment, it is provided freedom for the press. That they write anything without censorship about anything or anyone including the government. They encouraged this open exchange of their views since they never wanted to punish any people.

They believed that they couldn't stop people from criticizing anything. At the same time they didn't want to punish them if so, it would show the government to be tyrannical.
