Discussion Federalists and Anti-Federalists
Q What were the major arguments of the Federalists and Anti-Federalists in the debates over the Constitution? How did the Federalists succeed in securing the ratification of the Constitution?
There had been the requirement of a Bill of Rights in accordance with the arguments favored/supported by the Anti-Federalists. This is because individual liberty could only be safeguarded in this way. Therefore, the emphasis by the Anti-Federalists had been to formulate a Bill of Rights for making the Constitution appropriately prepared for not usurping the rights of the citizens. Monarchy of the American government in the future had been feared by the Anti-Federalists because of the centralization of governmental powers with the creation of a power presidency. There had been misrepresentation of the all the states because of not being given equal rights and powers by the constitution.
