AFP06 - Anti-Federalist Papers - Part 6

In his Letter no. 6, Centinel lays bare the consistency of human nature throughout the ages:  that people will be beguiled by and enamored of famous names.  

Blinded by admiration, they will walk headlong into chains.  Centinel warns his countrymen to distrust their would-be "saviours."

AFP05 - Anti-Federalist Papers - Part 5

In Letter no. 5, Centinel reiterates some key assertions from his previous papers and stresses that America is too large and diverse for a central, overarching government.

He states that a key supporter of the federal plan, in a rare moment of candor, admitted to him that the new government would need to be foisted upon the population; that the people would need to be bullied or tricked into accepting it.

Centinel further argues that the Constitution will mold the several states into one whole, which will subjugate the citizenry.

AFP04 - Anti-Federalist Papers - Part 4

Centinel allowed that the Articles of Confederation were unwieldy and had questionable mechanisms for collecting taxes. 

He was concerned that the new Constitution would be a radical departure from the existing charter, that the taxes collected would take a larger share than what the people were accustomed to, and that one [Federal] overarching government would be a juggernaut.

In Paper No. 4, Centinel invoked the Swiss model and emphasized that it would be the best for the fledgling nation.  He knew of and lamented the deception practiced by the Founders, who discarded the Articles of Confederation under the false rubric of revising them.
