Federalists vs. Anti-Federalists To what extent did the debate over the ratification of the constitution contribute to the formation of our new government? Do Now: Cartoon – Point of View? Homework: Exam next wed. Chapter 1-7 source base multiple choice

The Federalists vs. Anti-Federalists The Anti-Federalists did not want to ratify the Constitution: – It gave too much power to the national government – There was no bill of rights. – The national government could maintain an army in peacetime. – Congress, because of the `necessary and proper clause,' wielded too much power. – The executive branch held too much power. The Federalists, on the other hand, had answers to all of the Anti-Federalist complaints. Among them: – The separation of powers into three equal and independent branches – A listing of rights can be a dangerous thing, the Federalists argued that it's better to list none at all.

Issue 1: Does the government of the Articles need to be replaced? “ The Faith, the reputation, the peace of the whole Union are this continually at the mercy, the prejudices, the passions, and the interests of every member of which it is composed. Is it possible that foreign nations can either respect or confide in such a government? Is it possible that the people of America will longer consent to trust their honor, their happiness, their safety, on so precarious a foundation?...the confederation…is a system so radically vicious and unsound, as to admit not of amendment but by an entire change in its leading features and characters”

Issue 4: Does the proposed Constitution protect the people’s liberty? “here, in strictness, the people surrender nothing; and as they retain everything they have no need of particular reservations…bills of rights, in the sense and to the extent in which they are contended for, are not only unnecessary in the proposed constitution, but would even be dangerous…why declare that things not be done which there is no power to do?...the truth is…that the constitution is itself, in every rational sense, and to every useful rational sense, and to very useful purpose, a bill of rights”

Read- historians view of the constitution. Explain the point of view. Do you agree?
