NO. The Anti-Federalists who opposed the US Constitution were angered that the Constitution gave too little power to the states and too much power to the federal government.

Patrick Henry, a famous Virginian man, gave fiery speeches against the ratification of the Constitution. He believed that the Constitution gave too much power to the federal government and threatened the rights of individuals and states. Henry argued for states' rights and the inclusion of a Bill of Rights in the Constitution to protect individual liberties.
The Anti-Federalists argued that a new Constitution would be a step towards monarchy and that the country would be bled dry through state and federal taxation.
The delegates of the Constitutional Convention added the Bill of Rights to the Constitution as a compromise between the Federalists and Anti-Federalists to ensure ratification. This limited the power of the federal government and solidified power for the states.
From the time of the Declaration of Independence until the ratification of the Constitution, the United States did not have a President. The U.S. Constitution was ratified on June 21, 1788.
Antifederalists opposed the ratification of the Constitution, because, as their name suggests, they distrusted a strong federal government such as the one the Constitution would create. Many antifederalists felt that a strong central government, rather than one granting autonomy and power to the states, would lose sight of the people's desires as the British government lost sight of the colonies' desires.
