For what reasons did Patrick Henry fear that the Constitution would create a "great consolidated government"?

Patrick Henry was worried that the Constitution would create an aloof, unresponsive government that would be similar to the one that the colonies had just fought in the Revolutionary War. Patrick Henry was for the rights of states because, to him, Virginians would know best how to run Virginia. He was in no hurry to have Virginia's money go toward the payment of national debts which he did not feel that Virginia deserved to pay.
Henry and other Anti-Federalists believed that the Articles of Confederation needed modification. The Federalists, on the other hand, believed that the Articles should be scrapped in the name of national defense and solvency. The Bill of Rights was instituted to make the Anti-Federalists happy. The first ten amendments of the Constitution safeguard individual liberties such as freedom of religion and freedom of speech. The Tenth Amendment safeguards the power the states have because it states that any power not explicitly given to the national government should be given to the states. While this was not enough to entirely mollify Henry, it was enough to get the Constitution ratified.
