B. The United States was too big for representatives to effectively speak for the people.

This statement BEST describes the concerns of the Anti-Federalists

Explanation:

In a democratic republic country, people themselves don't declare their consent. In most present day, modern democratic countries follow representative democracy. People elect their representatives and these representatives reflect the opinion of people.

Like a country as big as United states of America, these represenatives dont necessarily reflect the opinion of people. The quote given above is an excerpt from "Brutus No. 1" written in 1787. Hence, this statement reflects the concerns of the Anti - Federalists.
