Difficult Road to Ratification

Opposing Sides Battle over ratification was between the Federalist and Anti-federalist. Federalist were in favor of a strong central government Anti-federalist were opposed to the new constitution as drafted

Public Relations Federalist Papers – An attempt to persuade the public to support the new form of government. – 85 essays written by Alexander Hamilton, John Jay, and James Madison – Under the pseudonym – Publius ‘friend of the people’ – Best example of political theorizing produced in the U.S.

Public Relations Anti-federalist Many strong patriots like Sam Adams and Patrick Henry Claimed the USC was written by aristocrats and would lead to aristocratic tyranny Believed USC would create an overbearing central government hostile to personal liberty Originally doesn’t include Bill of Rights Believed Montesquieu that a republic wasn’t possible on large scale.

Did America Support USC? 1913 book – Economic Interpretation of the Constitution of the United States Beard’s Thesis – Produced by wealthy elite to protect their property rights – Imposed by undemocratic means Never a popular vote on whether to hold convention Only white male property owners could vote

Support was Probably Widespread Perception that a strong central government was necessary to keep order and protect the public welfare – Common among all classes Need for a strong central government a major point – Crafted a limited government

U.S. Constitution U.S. Constitution through its system of checks and balances, favors a limited government over an ‘energetic’ government.
