No, it wouldn't. Frankly, state IDs are completely different matter under US laws.
The reason why certain people are against is because it would centralize the government and the principle of American politics is for the states to remain states, and for state residents to remain state residents under certain laws. The reason why the other people are against is because they just don't want to go through the hassle of getting another document and since laziness is a pretty pathetic reason, they come up with something as idiotic as the ID being an invasion of privacy.
Why would the issuing of passports be an invasion of your privacy by your country? The only reason your country issues them is because of another country's requirement, and there is no requirement on getting a passport. Hey, if you don't want to go somewhere you don't have to. An ID in your native country is a totally different thing: it's a necessity as we all have come to realize it in the US.
